Updated: 8:18 AM CST Nov 13, 2026 Editorial Standards ⓘ Mallory Anderson Anchor/Reporter By Consumer Reports MILWAUKEE — Hundreds of parents have reported severe skin reactions on their babies after using Millie Moon diapers, and now Consumer Reports is calling on the brand to issue a recall. Consumer Reports found more than 700 reports to the Consumer Product Safety Commission this year involving Millie Moon diapers. Advertisement Parents described redness, swelling, blisters, peeling, bleeding and other painful infant skin reactions, some of which required medical care. Many parents said their babies had used the brand before without an issue but developed reactions after opening a new package. "Consumer Reports is calling on Millie Moon to recall its diapers based on the growing number and severity of reported safety incidents and advising parents to stop using them," said Consumer Reports' Jessica Waller. Millie Moon confirms to Consumer Reports that it reviews the complaints that it receives directly, but it has not identified a product-related cause for the reported reactions. According to a company spokesperson, Millie Moon hasn't changed the materials, suppliers, or construction of its diapers. The only recent change, which rolled out in February 2026, is that the printed design on the outer layer now extends farther up the diaper. "Each complaint received directly by Millie Moon is reviewed individually and referred to our quality team for investigation," the spokesperson said, adding that the company reviewed production and quality records and tested samples from batches associated with reported concerns. Millie Moon also says it commissioned independent U.S. laboratory testing of products manufactured before and after the visual design change, as well as products returned by consumers who reported problems. "Across the samples tested, the results identified no evidence of contamination, unexpected substances, manufacturing defects, or product performance issues," the company said, adding that it will continue to monitor concerns. Millie Moon encourages parents to contact the company directly so that it can document the circumstances and obtain product and batch information. The company goes on to write: "We recognize that skin reactions can be distressing for babies and their families, and we take these reports seriously. Diaper rash is common in infancy and can have a range of causes and contributing factors, including moisture, friction, changes in stool or diet, infections, sensitive skin, and exposure to products used in the diaper area. The fact that a rash occurs while a baby is using a particular diaper does not, by itself, establish its cause." Diaper rash is common and can have many causes, so these reports do not prove that the diapers caused every reaction, but the number of similar reports to federal regulators is a meaningful safety signal. If you notice a skin reaction, stop using the product and contact your pediatrician. Keep the diapers and packaging, especially any lot or batch numbers.
