October 7, 2026 — A recent incident report has brought attention to a concerning safety issue involving Millie Moon size 3 diapers, manufactured by Zuru Inc. An infant reportedly developed a severe, bleeding diaper rash shortly after switching to the product, which resolved only after discontinuing use and returning to a previous brand.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On August 7, 2026, a consumer purchased Millie Moon size 3 diapers from Target for their 6-month-old infant daughter. Within a couple of weeks of using the new diapers, the infant developed a severe diaper rash. The rash was so severe that it began to bleed. Concerned, the parents switched back to their usual diaper brand. Upon this change, the infant’s severe rash resolved, indicating a strong correlation between the use of Millie Moon diapers and the onset of the skin irritation.
Safety Concerns
The incident involving Millie Moon size 3 diapers raises significant safety concerns, particularly for infants with delicate and sensitive skin:
- Immediate Dangers: A severe, bleeding diaper rash can cause significant pain and discomfort for an infant. Bleeding skin is also highly susceptible to bacterial or fungal infections, which can lead to more serious medical conditions if left untreated. The immediate distress to the infant and concern for parents are primary concerns.
- Long-Term Risks: While most diaper rashes resolve with proper care, severe, recurrent, or infected rashes could potentially lead to chronic skin sensitivities, scarring in extreme cases, or a compromised skin barrier if the issue persists over time. For infants, prolonged discomfort can also impact sleep and feeding patterns.
- Who Might Be Affected: This incident primarily affects infants using Millie Moon size 3 diapers. Infants are particularly vulnerable due to their developing immune systems and thinner, more permeable skin, which makes them more susceptible to irritation from ingredients, fragrances, or materials in hygiene products. Infants with existing skin conditions or allergies may be at even higher risk.
- Property Damage Potential: There is no direct property damage potential associated with this type of incident.
What Consumers Should Do
Parents and caregivers using Millie Moon size 3 diapers should take the following precautions:
- Immediate Steps: If your infant develops any signs of diaper rash, especially severe redness, swelling, or bleeding, discontinue the use of Millie Moon diapers immediately. Consult with your pediatrician for advice on treatment and care. Keep the affected skin clean and dry, and consider using a barrier cream as recommended by a medical professional.
- How to Check for Affected Product: Verify that the diapers you are currently using are Millie Moon brand and size 3. If you have concerns, check lot numbers on the packaging, though specific affected lot numbers are not yet identified in this incident report.
- Prevention Measures: Always monitor your infant’s skin for any adverse reactions when introducing new products, including diapers. If you notice any redness, irritation, or discomfort, consider switching back to a trusted brand. Ensure frequent diaper changes to keep the skin dry, regardless of diaper brand.
- Reporting Procedures: Consumers who have experienced similar issues are urged to report their incidents to 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.
