Procter and Gamble developed a new type of diaper and began selling the Dry Max technology this past March 2011. After just two months on the market, the diapers have caused rumblings of a Pampers Dry Max class action, already in the legal system and before a judge.
The new technology allowed diapers to be thinner, which in turn meant that in a landfill, the disposable diapers took up less room than traditional disposable diapers.
But parents are concerned that the Dry Max technology is causing their babies to have diaper rash and, in some cases, chemical burns. Several Pampers Dry Max lawsuits have already been filed.
A judge will decide whether the lawsuits merit a Pampers Dry Max class action lawsuit, and in the meantime, complaints continue to roll in at Procter and Gamble’s call center.
P&B claims the Dry Max diapers are safe, and that one in four babies have diaper rash. To attribute a common ailment to their new diapers is a misguided notion, say representatives of the giant corporation.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission will investigate the allegations listed in the Pampers Dry Max class action. Their results will be made public and then the status of the class action will be determined.
