Bottom line (as of October 23, 2026): If you searched for the Millie Moon diaper recall, here is the short version. There is no official recall of Millie Moon diapers right now. What happened is that Consumer Reports is advising parents to stop using Millie Moon diapers and is publicly calling on the company to recall them, after more than 600 reports of infant skin reactions were filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) this year. Millie Moon says its testing has not found a product-related cause and that it does not see a reason to recall.
So if you have a box in the nursery closet, you don’t need to panic, but you do have a decision to make. This guide walks through what Consumer Reports found, what Millie Moon says, what to check on your own diapers, and what to do if your baby has a reaction.
Quick note on our house: we’ve used Millie Moon before, though Pampers is our usual go-to. Everything below comes from Consumer Reports, the CPSC, Millie Moon’s public statements, and news reporting, not from our own diaper pail. And I’m a dad with a blog, not a pediatrician, so your baby’s doctor gets the final word on anything medical.
Is There a Millie Moon Diaper Recall Right Now?
No, not yet. As of this update there is no Millie Moon recall listed on the CPSC recalls page, and we couldn’t find one from the FDA or Health Canada either. Millie Moon, whose parent company is Zuru, is sold at Target, and news outlets covering the story are also reporting that there is no active recall.
Here’s where things stand, in plain terms:
| Who | What they’re saying (as of Oct. 23, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Consumer Reports | Parents should stop using Millie Moon diapers while the cause is investigated. CR is calling on Millie Moon to recall them “together with the CPSC.” |
| CPSC | It is “aware of the many reports and complaints” but can’t comment on any active or potential investigation. No recall has been announced. |
| Millie Moon | Its investigation and independent lab testing found “no evidence of contamination, unexpected substances, manufacturing defects, or product performance issues.” It says it has not found an issue that would warrant a recall. |
That difference matters. A recall is a formal action, usually announced by the company and the CPSC together, with specific products, lot codes and a remedy like a refund. A Consumer Reports “stop using” recommendation is a strong safety warning from an independent nonprofit, but it isn’t a recall. You’ll see a lot of social posts calling this a Millie Moon diaper recall anyway, so if your group chat says “they recalled the diapers,” that isn’t technically right yet.
What Consumer Reports Found
Consumer Reports reviewed the CPSC’s public complaint database, SaferProducts.gov, and counted more than 600 incidents involving Millie Moon diapers submitted in 2026. According to CR:
- Parents describe rashes, redness, swelling, blisters, peeling, bleeding and other skin reactions in the diaper area.
- Numerous reports describe medical treatment, including at least three emergency room visits.
- In CR’s review, no other diaper brand came close to that number of incidents during the same period.
- Several parents said their babies had worn Millie Moon before with no problems and only reacted after opening a new package.
CR first published its story on October 16 and updated it on October 22 to add the “stop using” advice and the recall call. That’s when it spread fast, and local TV stations around the country were running it by October 23.
Consumer Reports is careful about what this does and doesn’t prove. Ashita Kapoor, CR’s director of product safety, called the pattern “a meaningful safety signal” but added that “it is not proof that the diapers caused each reaction.” Diaper rash is the most common skin problem in babies and has lots of possible causes, so an investigation would need lot details, testing and comparisons across batches to settle it.
One more detail from CR: Millie Moon says it hasn’t changed its materials, suppliers or construction. The only recent change it confirmed was in February 2026, when the printed design on the outside of the diaper was extended farther up. At least one parent interviewed by WCPO said her baby’s problems started with newer packs that have the taller print, but nobody has shown that the print is the cause.
What Millie Moon Says
Millie Moon has been consistent: it reviews each complaint, tests samples from the batches involved, and so far hasn’t found a product problem. In an October 17 statement shared with WCPO in Cincinnati, the company said its testing covered chemical safety, heavy metals, microbiological contamination, skin irritation, pH and more, and that its complaint rate is below 0.1% of diapers sold. It also asks parents with concerns to contact it directly so it can look up the product and batch details.
That’s the company’s side, and it’s fair to include it. It’s also fair to note that reporters have asked which labs did the testing and to see the full results, and as of this writing those haven’t been made public.
How to Check Your Millie Moon Diapers
Since there’s no official Millie Moon diaper recall, there’s no list of affected lot codes to compare against. Anyone posting a “recalled lot list” right now is guessing. What you can do is get organized, so you’re ready if a recall does come and so your report is useful if you file one:
- Keep the box or bag. Don’t toss the packaging yet. Consumer Reports specifically recommends holding on to it.
- Find the lot or batch number. It’s usually printed on the packaging. Snap a clear photo of it, plus the size and count.
- Note when you opened it. Several reports involve reactions after a new package, so jot down roughly when you started the current pack.
- Keep a few unused diapers. If you stop using them, set a handful aside in a sealed bag instead of throwing out the whole pack, in case they’re useful for testing later.
- Watch for updates. If a recall is announced, it will show up on the CPSC recalls page and on Millie Moon’s site, with specific products and instructions.
What to Do If Your Baby Has a Reaction
This is the part that matters most. Consumer Reports, news reporting, and even Millie Moon all point parents to the same basic steps:
- Stop using the diapers and keep an eye on your baby’s skin.
- Call your pediatrician. Blisters, open skin, bleeding, swelling, or a rash that looks like a burn deserve a doctor’s eyes, not a wait-and-see.
- Take photos of the skin and the packaging, with dates.
- Report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov. Those reports are how this pattern got noticed in the first place.
- Report it to Millie Moon through the Millie Moon website or by email at hello@mymilliemoon.com, which is the address given in WCPO’s reporting.
One parent told WCPO that Millie Moon sent her a Target gift card after she complained. That’s not a recall refund, so if you want your money back, ask Millie Moon or the store directly about its return policy.
What to Use in the Meantime
If you decide to follow Consumer Reports’ advice and switch, you don’t need a fancy plan. Pick another diaper your baby has done fine in before, or a basic fragrance-free option, and give your baby’s skin a little extra care during the changeover. A few gentle habits help with any diaper:
- Change diapers often so skin stays as dry as possible.
- Let your baby have some diaper-free time when you can.
- Use whatever barrier cream your pediatrician recommends.
- Change one thing at a time (diapers, wipes, detergent) so you can tell what’s helping.
And if your baby has been in Millie Moon with zero problems, that’s a judgment call for your family. Consumer Reports says stop. Millie Moon says its testing is clean. If you’re torn, a two-minute call to your pediatrician’s nurse line is a great tiebreaker.
