Despite nearly 4,700 complaints about Dry Max Pampers, health experts in the United States and Canada have not found any link between rashes and the popular diapers.
Whistleblower reported in April about parents who banded together to complain about severe diaper rash that their babies suffered after using Dry Max Pampers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada examined the complaints and the diaper design, reviews of data in medical literature and a "human cumulative irritation patch study" by Dry Max maker Procter & Gamble.
The agencies' findings vindicated the company's position that its diapers aren't hurting children. The CPSC also noted that the number of complaints spiked in May, after the onilne uprising against Dry Max got widespread publicity, but has since tailed off. The commission said it couldn't rule out that some babies are more sensitive to Dry Max, and invited parents to continue to report any suspected problems with the diapers.
