Product: Millie Moon Millie Moon Ms Rachel Disposable Training Pants 2T
Incident Overview
On May 18, 2026, a consumer purchased Millie Moon disposable diapers from Target. Shortly after their daughter began using these training pants, she developed a severe and alarming rash in her diaper area. The affected skin was described as very red, significantly irritated, and appearing “burned,” becoming extremely sensitive to the slightest touch.
The injury was particularly noticeable during diaper changes, where even gentle contact caused the child visible discomfort and sensitivity, making cleaning and changing difficult. The parents stated that the product was being used as intended for normal diapering throughout the day and night for their young child.
The severity of the reaction, which the parents described as substantially beyond a typical diaper rash, led them to believe the injury might be a serious chemical-type burn. They reported the incident to raise awareness and request an investigation into the product’s components, such as materials, dyes, adhesives, or absorbent materials, to determine if they could have contributed to or caused the severe reaction. The goal is to document the incident and ascertain if other children may have experienced similar adverse reactions.
Safety Concerns
This incident raises significant safety concerns regarding the materials and potential chemical composition of disposable training pants.
- Immediate Dangers: The primary immediate danger is a severe skin injury, described as a rash/burn, which causes significant pain, discomfort, and sensitivity. Such injuries can lead to crying, difficulty with hygiene, and overall distress for the child.
- Long-Term Risks: Severe skin irritations or burns, if left untreated or if exposure continues, could potentially lead to secondary infections, scarring, or more prolonged skin sensitivity. Depending on the exact cause, repeated exposure to certain chemicals could also pose other health risks, though further investigation would be needed to confirm this.
- Who Might Be Affected: Infants and toddlers are uniquely vulnerable due to their delicate skin and inability to communicate their discomfort effectively. Products like diapers and training pants are in constant, direct contact with highly sensitive skin, making any irritant or chemical issue particularly dangerous for this age group. Other children using the same batch or manufacturing run of these specific training pants could be at risk of experiencing similar reactions.
- Property Damage Potential: No property damage potential has been identified in this incident report.

- Prevention Measures: Always monitor your child’s skin for any unusual reactions when introducing new products, especially those that come into prolonged contact with the skin. If your child has sensitive skin, consider hypoallergenic or natural-fiber alternatives.
- Report the Incident: If you or your child has experienced a similar reaction or injury, it is crucial to report it to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov.
