CINCINNATI (AP) - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
and Health Canada say they haven't yet found a link between Pampers
Dry Max diapers and some babies' unusually severe diaper rash.
The CPSC said Thursday that both agencies will keep evaluating
consumer complaints and provide updated information. The CPSC
received nearly 4,700 diaper rash reports from April through August
and says both agencies evaluated the diapers' materials,
construction and other characteristics.
Claims that the new version of Procter & Gamble's
biggest-selling brand can cause severe rashes triggered lawsuits as
well as the government probes.
CPSC says it cannot rule out that some babies may react
differently to the new product, especially those who are sensitive
to materials in Dry Max.
