recall pampers dry max

Amanda - posted on 05/11/2010

my 5 weeks old has used pampers from day one; she's perfectly fine. i do change her very often, but her drymax diapers hold a whole bunch of fliuds, and she doesn't complain that she's uncomfortable in them when we're out and i can't change her for a while....
according to Pampers, the rumor of a recall due to chemical burns is untrue. i can't imagine Pampers having that much of a problem...they'd go bankrupt...
thanks for keeping us posted!

Love the link candis. i am still using pampers dry max and i still love them!!! They work amazing and no rashes!! for anyone who has had leaks try going up a size. i know that might sound crazy since there are wight guidelines right on the box but that is exactly what they are just guidelines. i have had it happen to me with every brand of diaper and all i had to do was go up a size and no more leaks!! I personally have to use night time diapers on my son at night. I am not sure what is going on with the rash situation but i have been using these diaper since before they even were being sold in stores and no problems what so ever however my child did receive rashes from other brands of diapers. I think parents are too quick to blame others these days for everything that goes on with there children.And that is not to say that any parents are wrong to say that there child should not use a certain brand of diapers of course as a parent you want to protect your children i just don't think it is the companies fault i think it depends solely on the child.

i have noticed it too but only on the ones with a blueish tinge to them and they aren't as soft as the regular ones and they also seem to be a bit smaller than the regular ones of the same size.

my son had a bad rash from swaddlers last year after he was born so I don't use any Pampers now. interestingly 3 months after he was born, they came out with Swaddlers Sensitive...

Candis I LOVE that you posted that link! Maybe people will now understand...

I noticed a rash on both of my boys and had even taken them to the doctor because it wouldn't go away. The only thing that made the rash go away was switching the diapers. We don't use pampers dry max anymore and both boys' rashes have cleared up......

Pampers said that it is False here is a link the put out on it.

I had not heard there was a recall, only that some babies had horrible rashes/burns from them. SO glad I use cloth!!!

When my son was born he was able to wear them at first but once he needed stage 2 he could not wear them anymore because it gave him bad rash. They have some kind of powdery perfume in them, I could smell it on the cruisers, so now when I buy diapers I smell them to make sure they don't have a scent.

I use the pampers cruiser on my daughter and I she has not had any problems with it, I am keeping a close eye to make sure no changes occur

Rebecca - posted on 05/10/2010

There is no recall...this is just someone who thinks there should be one. Try huggies. My son can't use huggies but my daughter can't use pampers so every child's skin is different.
Hope her rash isn't as bad as some of the kids out there.

i didnt hear about the recall but my daughter never had a diaper rash until she started using the dry max diapers. she is 13 months old. i have used pampers since she was born but i may have to switch and try anutha brand of diapers.

My daughter has very sensitive skin and has had no problems with the Dry Max. We first tried the Baby Dry and now use the Swaddlers again and she had a diaper rash one day, but nothing since, and it was before the complaints were out all over so I never would have attributed the rash to the diaper. Obviously it wasn't. So I wouldn't take what happened to others and automatically think it is the diaper, some children are prone to diaper rashes, yes of course try something else it could be the problem! After all, Huggies and Luvs have been in business for years because they work for SOME babies. Pampers just happen to work best for my child. It is normally a good idea to stock up on things while you are pregnant but you never know what will work for your child, so if you find out she can't use Pampers and you have 5 cases in her closet...I know my mom bought me 2 packs of Huggies I couldn't use until she was older and only if I knew she had already pooped (her first bath was not a planned occasion!) I hope there is no recall because my daughter has just started sleeping through the night and these diapers work great! For US.

I love the new dry max diapers! My daughter is on her 2nd box! they are so absorbant and great that I don't want to use anything else!

Mellanie - posted on 05/10/2010

Just use cloth :) It definitely takes the guess work out of which one your child will be allergic to.

Jessie - posted on 05/10/2010

my son has not gotten a rash or anything from them. however I dont really like the dry max diapers but that's what my boyfriend brought home last time so we are using them. I will keep an eye out but we have been using them for several days with no issues.

i use pampers swaddlers on my son, and a week ago i noticed a blister on his bum, penaten creme made it go away quick, and hes got a small red rash.

Michelle - posted on 05/10/2010

i know each diaper and what not can have different effects on each child - i can not use Huggies at all! nothing - not diapers, whipes, bath washes etc.... my oldest breaks out in blisters, rash etc.... i just called the hotline when that happened and they were nice enough to acutlly send me $150 in pampers coupons to replace their product!

Rebecca - posted on 05/10/2010

i knew they would. haha. i tried them on my daughter, she has never gotten diaper rash from pampers but they wouldn't hold for any amount of pee or poop. like, as soon as she pooped you had to rush to the changing table before it leaked out and she wouldn't even be in a diaper for an hour and have to be changed because her pee leaked through and soaked her shirts. and this was no astronomical amount of pee either..not even..a piddle.. I stick with Luvs. They're really crunchy..but man are they obsorbant!

My friend used the pampers baby dry dry max diapers and her daughter got a bad rash as did mine when I tried them, but when I went to the swaddlers dry max my daughter was fine. My daughter can only use pampers. The product still is not recalled here yet, but I think part of the problem is in the mix. If you pay attention to the baby dry diapers they have a sweet smell to them when they pee. That fregrancy in the diaper was what gave my daughter that horrible reaction. Plus each child reacts differently about things. So I just think its a mix of things not every case is pampers fault and not every case is the costumers fault either.

A chemical burn near your child's genitals???? that's horrible! Maybe another good reason to switch to cloth? I do & love it.

Deborah - posted on 05/10/2010

My daughter had da rash due to pampers.Eish I am disappointed in them but bcoz of customer loyalty, I'll keep using their products.

Cori - posted on 05/09/2010

it hasnt been recalled, but it should be! DONT Buy their products.. my son just used the pampers baby dry and got the chemical burn (diagnosed by a Dr) and had never had a problem with the product before and we have been using pampers since birth!

Kerri - posted on 05/09/2010

both of my girls us dry max and havent had any problem but my oldest cant use luvs breaks her out with big sores. When i was little i couldnt use any disposable diapers so like most of you moms said prob just different skin, different allergies!

FayAnne - posted on 05/09/2010

I have been using them and not have seen anything yet but i will be careful too bad i think they work great!!

Emelie - posted on 05/09/2010

No recall, its all fake!

Emily - posted on 05/09/2010

I thought those burns were on the OLD pampers cruisers/swaddlers? the Dry Max was supposed to prevent this from happening?

my dd got the burns from the cruisers, so I switched to cloth

Ashley - posted on 05/09/2010

My son has had a reaction to the dry max diapers. My pediatrician had to prescribe "Greer's Goo" to help treat the rash, which she said looks like it has a little staff in it... anytime he had a bowel movement with the Pamper on, he got a rash and it was very painful for him. I have had to start using Huggies with the "Goo", and it is not so painful anymore.
For all the mom's whose baby had a reaction, I feel your pain. It is awful to see your baby in such discomfort.

Pampers are the only diapers I have used for my son since he was born, I love them, they have a great feel and keep my son dry. I have not noticed any problems with them.

Kenyetta - posted on 05/09/2010

I have the Cruiser Dry Max for my daughter. I haven't seen a rash on baby's bottom. I'm going to keep a look out for the rash. thank you for the information.

Alicia - posted on 05/09/2010

My baby is due in August, and like all new moms i've already started to stock up on the necessities. I have quite the supply of diapers waiting all of them are Pampers. Swaddlers, Cruisers and Dry Max. Is there a website I can do .. do they have special product numbers or something to let us know whats been recalled so we can exchange? This is ridiculous, these are products for very small children can't these people get it the hell together?!

Heather - posted on 05/08/2010

With my older two we could only use the Walmart brand they react to both Huggies and Pampers..
Heres a link about the recall... I get some babies were getting really bad reactions to the new Pampers

thanks for letting me know.. i'm currently using them for my son.. (Thats all his grandma will buy or let me buy) i haven't seen anything yet, but i'll keep my eyes opened

i hate the new dry max they are horrible ... i loved the old pampers cruisers with comfort flex .. they took layers out now my baby is soaked in the middle of the night!!!!!!!

Hi Nancy- Has you Pediatrician or Doctor ever suggested to use cloth diapers? What about Target brand, personally I can't use them, but I know others who have tried them and love them. I know it may dip a little bit further into the pocket book, but they may be worth a shot to get rid of that diaper rash. If possible too, try leaving her bum without a diaper as long as you can. I have heard that sometimes will help. My aunt also gave me a home remedy too. I haven't tried it, but she swares by it. Her and her girlfriend went camping with their husbands and kids years ago. Well, the baby had diaper rash very bad and this was way out from any civilization anywhere. My aunt told her that she heard to use apple cider vinger on it and to set his bum into a pot of it that has been warmed up. She swears up and down it cleared it up...hey...it's worth a shot. If you try it, let me know how it works out for you. Hope I could help.

They are under investagation. However Diapers.com Still sells the old style swaddlers :) For the same price as Walmart

Stephanie - posted on 05/08/2010

i have always used pampers cruisers on my daughter and i bought a bag the other night of the dry max and now my daughter has a rash...i think they should have just left the diapers the way they were..

Heather - posted on 05/08/2010

NANCY: It may be the wipes and not the diapers. I can only use pampers wipes with my kids because they would break out very bad. (The girls would get the bleeding at their parts)
We had bought the parents choice wipes before because the pampers were sold out and we knew the huggies broke them out and they broke the girls out too. I'd try different wipes.

Heather - posted on 05/08/2010

My daughters could not use Huggies diapers but especially wipes! Actually all 3 of my kids couldn't use the Huggies wipes. Something would make all of them break-out. I haven't started using the new dry max yet because we have stock piled supplies of diapers but will look out for it.
I think it may be though parents just trying to get something for nothing.

My son son got a rash on each thigh when I first started to use them, I put some medicine on it and they have been fine since.

Brandi - posted on 05/07/2010

i have a 4 month old who used swaddlers and she did get a severe rash that was eating her skin it was horrible she was onlt 4 days old at the time and i had to switch to huggies little snugglers before it went away but i had tried creams powders yeast cream nothing worked thats when i realized it was the diapers poor girl had that rash for two weeks from them diapers it was the worst kind of rash i had ever seen you could see patches of skin eaten away on her bottem it was that bad so if your using them i suggest switching

Erin - posted on 05/07/2010

it might be excema. Its pretty common to get where the diaper sits. Try using goats milk lotion on it :) (you can get it at wal-mart)

Erin - posted on 05/07/2010

my daughter has been using pampers swaddles since she was born.... thats strange that she has no reaction to them

Heather - posted on 05/07/2010

Nancy, your daughter may be allergic to the parents choice, there are other store brands out there you can try that are as cheap as the parents choice. But Pampers does not make the parents choice diapers so the pampers chemicals would have no effect on your daughters rash. I would recommend changing diapers just due to the fact my son is allergic to all brand except pampers. I am a low income single mom but unfortunantly I have no option but to buy pampers if I dont want to fight a rash

Mandy - posted on 05/07/2010

It sorta seems like people are getting diaper rashes and connecting it because of the change in diaper technology. Every child reacts differently, but diaper rashes are pretty common too. My daughter has been using pampers since she was born. She has had no problem with the changes.

Miranda - posted on 05/07/2010

they were not recalled. every child is different when it comes to diaper rashes. pampers work for some and not others

Nancy - posted on 05/07/2010

omg could it possibly affect the parents choice diapers. we are a low income family so that is all i can afford to buy and i have been fight a rash on my daughters butt cheeks for over a year!! her doctor says its something different everytime but gives her the SAME meds and we even took her to a dermatologist who took one look and said"yep, that's a yeast infection" wrote a prescription and left the room and that meds only helped on her front. She is always scratching and sometimes makes it bleed. i have noticed because we are trying to potty train that when she doesn't wear a diaper for a few days it seems to not bother her as bad. its a dry and flaky bright red rash. any clues??

havent noticed anything different with them

Kim - posted on 05/07/2010

I have used pampers since my daughter was born, she is now 16 months old. We continued to buy they Dry Max diapers when they were released, but when I finished our first box I switched to huggies. The dry max didn't leave a rash on my daughter but they are a bad quality diaper. They leak! Huggies so far have been just as good as the Pampers were before. I'm not saying they should recall them but they should at least change it back to the way it used to be. If it's not broke, why fix it?
