Pampers Lawsuit: Proctor and Gamble Accused Of Blaming Parents

I recently purchased a pack of Pampers Crusiers with Dry Max and my son has developed a severe diaper rash and I normally use Pampers Baby Dry.    I  switched back to Baby Dry, but I have had to take my child to the pediatrican due to the horrible diaper rash. It looked like a burn of some sort. 

I have a set of twins girls and i have always used either pampers dry, cruisers or occasionally huggies. Huggies is the overall best diaper to me but because of the price difference i decided to try the pampers. BOTH of my daughters have a serious red rash that looks similar to a burn and has even scabbed up occasionally. I thought it was possibly just a normal occasional rash. Needless to say I will not use pampers any longer. I also have pictures of my daughters bottoms. I will pursue this to the fullest if Proctor and Gamble is found to be responsible. I think it is absolutely unprofessional and non responsible for the company to automatically start accusing the parents!!!! GO FIGURE!!!!

My oldest daughter also has suffered from a burn-like rash with open sores that became infected several times on her bottom that was not relieved by any cream over the counter or RX, cool baths, antibacterial washes and countless trips to the doctors office with no answers, a confused pediatrician and very upset parents. I will be calling to discuss this new found issue with the diapers. Like so many we switched to the new Dry Max Pampers and this started after we switched. She is now in Huggies pull-ups and has had no further issues. Also, I am home all day so the excuse of not changing my child's diaper enough does not exist in this case. At one point I was changing every 20 minutes to be sure she was not wet. Shame on you who are doubting this terrible affair. A screaming and inconsolable child is never something any parent should experience no matter the cause. There has to be a simple answer to this. Hopefully its just happening in children with fair skin. I know my child has fair skin. Wondering if this is the case for so many others??? Good luck to all of you going through this. We use the Baby Dry on our youngest and have had no issues!!

Last evening I changed my 1 month old grand daughters bottom which I have done several times since the day she was born.  My daughter got a bag of the swaddlers dry weave diapers and this was only the second diaper we used out of the bag.  When I took the diaper off the whole outline of where the diaper fit was really really red and I got concerned.  Thank goodness my daughter had a bag of diapers from the superstore she got for a shower gift.  She called Pampers and they simply said "not recalling", what a joke.  Parents spend good money on those diapers, not to mention the heartache of watching a child cry in pain.  I hope they sue the pants of those heartless buggers!!

I have an eleven month old granddaughter who is suffering from some type of severe red rash that also has blisters.  She is very uncomfortable and we were using pampers.  We have now switched to Huggies and lets see if this makes a difference.  Like all of the others have said, the baby never sits around in wet diapers and even the diaper creams and giving baking soda baths isn't providing any relief.  Shame on P & G for not doing something about this sooner.  Why should all of these young children have to suffer through something so painful?  

My great niece was given pampers dry max at the hospital when she was born and immediately got a severe rash that looked like chemical burns and actually bled.  We tried everything we could think of... ointments, powders, using washcloths instead of baby wipes... everything.  When we finally went and bought a different brand of diaper, the rash was 1/2 gone by the second diaper change and completely gone overnight.  I will never buy Pampers brand for my own children and my niece and sister feel the same.

My daughter is fair skinned and tends to be sensitive to many things.  She also had a severe rash, to the point of bleeding.   I'm not sure if it is Pampers or all disposables.  We have switched to cloth and it cleared up right away.  Cloth diapers are not what they were when my mother used them twenty eight years ago.  These are soft, absorbent, waterproof, and no plastic pants.  I'm sold, and I doubt I'll ever go back to disposables full time again. 

THESE DIAPERS ARE THE WORST!  I HAVE BEEN TREATING MY BOY FOR A YEAST INFECTION, DIAPER RASH, AND NOTHING WORKED UNTIL I STOPPED USING DRY MAX PAMPERS.  RECALL, PLEASE!

I find it ignorant on some peoples part to sue a company because their child gets a diaper rash from the diaper. My daughter is 23 months and there are certain diapers she can't wear because she gets a rash. Well the easy solution is to buy different diapers not sue! My daughter has never had a problem with the pampers and clearly its just a reaction had by some kids and not others, as is many other allergies!!!

The simple solution is just to boycott Pampers diapers. If they won't admit fault, fine. That's their prerogative. And we consumers don't have to purchase their faulty (and dangerous) product! My son also broke out while wearing the new pampers for the first and only time in his life. I am not a brand loyalist. We have used both Huggies and Luvs with no problems. I usually get what I have a coupon for, or what gets handed down from a friend with a baby 5 months older than my son. But I will not be purchasing any more Pampers (ever) and have returned all unopened packages.

My daughter is 4 months old and i had her using huggies but ran out so i tried the swaddlers dry max and now her "POOR BUTT IS BLEEDING" and thats just not fair to her or other children so i think they should recall them

i had the same problem...i have always used huggies and when my son got a simple diaper rash (very minor) my sister insisted i use pampers because they were softer. I was using pampers wipes and they are much softer than huggies but when I did switch to pampers diapers the rash instantly got worse...We went to 4 drs and the ER and it was so bad the ER doc was wanting to admit him. I switched back to huggies after and the rash was gone within 2 days. 

My Son who is Almost 11mths has worn almost every diaper without problems. I recently recevied coupons for Pampers I brought them and now my son has 2 welt like burns on his inner thighs. not even were the diaper is covering but were it rubs on the outside. It is not from being to wet cause the pee is on the inside of the diaper. I noticed it and went and bought Luvs (My favorite) with some diaper rash cream and this morning it already was lighting. They need to recall before a child ends up with serious injury. I also recomend taking pictures so when recalled and lawsuits begin theres proof.

I am so angry, my grandson has suffered at my hands because I made the choice to buy these diapers.  I am not talking a normal diaper rash, it looks like his little bottom has been blistered and very painful.  He cant even hardly walk, nor does he want too!  He screams when he goes potty.... 

My 1yr old has developed this rash over 2 months ago & all the diaper rash ointments, powders & creams I've used were not working. I took him to his pediatrician and even the medicated ointments & powders she's prescribed have not work. Now I'm convinced it's something more than a rash. When I leave him without a pamper on for a few hours, his genital area seems to get better but as soon as the diaper goes back on, by the next pamper change, his genital area is a bright red color & swollen to the piont were it looks like a burn more than a rash

My 5 week old developed a rash that is the exact same pattern as the dry weave liner! The rash is where her bottom cheeks go together. I have switched to Huggies! I am so upset that I have lost my trust in P&G!

I have to agree that there is a problem with these Pampers diapers. Now for those that are scrutinizing other peoples abilities to care for their children and experience, I will add that I am a mother of 5 children and grandmom to 3.  My mother was a paediatric nurse for 35 years as well as raising 5 children of her own. I know that my commitment to my grandsons care has been excellent. This is a child, 13 months old now who has not required any special attention to his bottom except when the flu bug hit him months ago. Upon switching him to these new Pampers diapers which I stocked up on, problems flared up quickly. I went through using Sudocrem, Zincofax, two different prescriptions, baking soda in the tub, cornstarch in the diaper. His bum had him screaming, He looked like a baboon. What started out the size of a looney became the size of McDonalds pancake in a matter of 3 days. Liberally applying Vaseline was the only thing that got him on the road to mending. Fortunately my daughter had heard through the grapevine a rumour about this "chemical burn" problem. I immediately switched back to his former Pampers diapers, and the problem has almost completely resolved inside of 3 days after torment from June 22 through to July 4. We had been to the doctors (prescriptions). If the company had taken a responsible role and reported these complaints at least we as moms, grandmoms and our doctors could have made an educated assessment. I really feel that Pampers has been negligent and do not believe that these diapers were thoroughly screened through a range of children. I imagine ethniticy plays a role as some children are affected and others not. So I'm just writing in support of the other parents who have made a claim against this product.

My son turned 2 today July 18 th and his little butt is so raw and sore it's sick. We used those diapers for a while and cuold not figure out what was making him look like this. He has had several appointments and used several creams and what not and nothing works. It looks like a very very very bad cigertte lighter burn to point to where it is bloody This needs to stop and something needs to be done about it.

I'm just upset because I really liked Pampers before the DryMax issue. They were the best diapers. Unfortunately, my son broke out in a rash so we had to switch to Huggies. I wish they would offer the diapers with or without dry max.

My granddaughter never had a problem with rashes until I bought her Dry Max,,,,her bum is so bad,,and now is bleeding, poor thing is in so much pain,,,now that I know what the problem is we will switch right away,,no more pampers will be bought in this house!!

P&C,,,can you not see the number of complaints,,,your product is at fault,,,shame on you for all the suffering you have cause all the babies,,,take responsibility,,,take action!!
