October 26, 2026 — A recent incident report details severe skin reactions in a child using Millie Moon Size 3 diapers, manufactured by Zuru Inc. and purchased from Target.

Product Details
Incident Overview
According to incident report number 20261006-3C831-2147308252, dated October 6, 2026, a child developed a severe and painful rash after using Millie Moon Size 3 diapers. The parent reported that the child’s bottom would turn bright red, and wiping caused micro tears and tiny bleeding spots across the affected area. The parent likened the appearance of the rash to a chemical burn, noting that this adverse reaction has occurred multiple times since they began using these specific diapers. The incident report explicitly states that these severe symptoms do not occur when the child uses a different, “[REDACTED]” brand of diapers, suggesting a direct correlation between the Millie Moon product and the skin irritation.
Safety Concerns
The reported incident raises significant safety concerns regarding the potential for severe skin reactions and injuries in infants and young children using Millie Moon diapers.
- Immediate Dangers: The most immediate danger is severe skin irritation, causing intense pain and discomfort for the child. The description of “micro tears all over and just starts bleeding in tiny spots” indicates a compromised skin barrier, which significantly increases the risk of bacterial or fungal infections. The “chemical burn” appearance suggests a potential irritant or allergen within the diaper materials.
- Long-term Risks: Repeated exposure to such an irritant could lead to chronic skin conditions, persistent sensitivity, and potential scarring. Frequent open wounds could result in repeated infections, requiring medical intervention and potentially leading to long-term health issues or discomfort. The traumatic experience of a painful rash and bleeding could also cause distress for both the child and caregivers.
- Who might be affected: Infants and young children using Millie Moon Size 3 diapers are directly at risk. Given that the parent switched to another brand without recurrence of symptoms, it suggests a product-specific issue. Children with pre-existing skin sensitivities might be particularly vulnerable, but the severity of the reported reaction indicates a potential risk for all users of the affected product batch or design.
- Property Damage Potential: This incident does not pose a risk of property damage; the primary concern is severe personal injury.
What Consumers Should Do
If you are using Millie Moon Size 3 192 count diapers, or any Millie Moon diapers, and have observed similar symptoms in your child, please take the following actions:
- Immediate Steps: Discontinue use of the Millie Moon diapers immediately. If your child is experiencing a severe rash, redness, open sores, or bleeding, seek prompt medical attention from a pediatrician or healthcare provider. Keep any remaining diapers from the affected package, along with the packaging itself, as potential evidence.
- How to Check if You Own the Affected Product: Verify the brand “Millie Moon” and “Size 3 192 count” on your diaper packaging.
- Prevention Measures: Always monitor your child’s skin closely for any signs of irritation, redness, or discomfort when introducing new diaper brands or new batches of existing brands. If you notice any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a medical professional. Consider switching to an alternative diaper brand if you have concerns.
- Reporting Procedures: If you or your child have experienced similar issues with Millie Moon diapers or any other consumer product, it is crucial to file an incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. You should also contact the manufacturer, Zuru Inc., and the retailer, Target, to report your experience directly.
