ZURU, LLC, No. 2:26-cv-12580, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.The complaint alleges that every size of Millie Moon diaper carries a defect that can cause severe rashes and burn-like injuries, while the packaging and retail listings tell parents the diapers are “dermatologically tested” and “safe on sensitive skin.” It seeks refunds and damages for buyers and asks the court to order a recall. ZURU has not been found liable for anything, and the case is at its first stage.

What the Complaint Alleges
According to the complaint, Millie Moon diapers launched as a Target exclusive in 2021 and expanded to other major U.S. retailers in mid-2025, selling for roughly $8.99 to $49.99 a package. The filing says hundreds of parents have described the same pattern: redness and irritation in the diaper area that did not improve while the diapers were in use, then cleared up after the family switched brands. It describes reported injuries including thin, bright-red or bleeding skin, welts, blisters, peeling skin and open wounds.The complaint relies heavily on public reports. It cites more than 385 reports of rashes or burns on the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s public database, and says a search of SaferProducts.gov for “Millie Moon” returned 584 reports as of October 7, 2026. It also quotes parent reviews on Target and Walmart websites and the brand’s replies to them, which the complaint characterizes as offering no remedy.
On the marketing side, the lawsuit points to the package claims that the diapers are “dermatologically tested,” “fragrance free,” “latex free” and “free from lotions,” the Allergy Certified and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 seals, and the Millie Moon website’s statement that the diapers are “designed to keep skin dry and help reduce rashes.” It alleges those claims were misleading because no hazard was disclosed anywhere a buyer would look, and that ZURU knew of the complaints and kept selling the diapers without a warning or recall.
The named plaintiff says he bought a box of Size 2 diapers at a Target store in September 2026, that the diapers leaked and that his child developed a rash where the diaper touched the skin.
The Legal Claims
The complaint brings claims under three California consumer statutes — the Unfair Competition Law, the False Advertising Law and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act — along with fraudulent concealment, breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, unjust enrichment, negligent design, negligent failure to warn, negligence and negligent misrepresentation.The proposed class is everyone in the United States who bought Millie Moon diapers for personal use, not for resale, during the longest period the law allows. Under the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the complaint says the plaintiff sent ZURU a written notice on October 21, 2026 and seeks only an injunction under that statute for now; it says the plaintiff will ask to add damages under the CLRA if ZURU does not address the notice within 30 days.
The relief requested includes compensatory and punitive damages, restitution, a recall of the diapers, a public recall notice program, an order requiring ZURU to test for substances that cause skin reactions, replacement with non-defective diapers or a full refund, and attorneys’ fees. Srourian Law Firm, P.C. and Siri & Glimstad LLP filed the complaint.
What Millie Moon and the CPSC Have Said
In September 2026, Millie Moon told Cincinnati station WCPO that it had “not identified a product safety or quality issue that would warrant a recall.” The company said there had been no change to the diapers’ formulation, materials or suppliers, and that a recent update to the outer layer was visual only, extending the printed design further up the diaper. It said its investigations and testing found no evidence of contamination or manufacturing defects. The complaint cites that same report, and says several parents noticed problems only after the design update.The CPSC told WCPO it was “very aware of the many reports filed regarding this product” but could not comment on any active or potential investigation. As of November 7, 2026, the agency’s recall database lists no Millie Moon diaper recall.
This is not the only case over the diapers. Law360 reported on October 2, 2026 that a separate proposed class action over leaks and skin reactions from Millie Moon diapers had been filed in California federal court.
What Happens Next
ZURU will have a chance to respond to the complaint, typically with an answer or a motion to dismiss. If the case survives that stage, the plaintiff would later ask the court to certify the proposed class. Cases filed separately over the same product are sometimes combined or coordinated. None of those steps has happened yet, and there is no settlement, claim form or deadline.Questions
Is there a Millie Moon diaper recall?
As of November 7, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall database lists no Millie Moon diaper recall. Millie Moon told WCPO in September 2026 that it had not identified a product safety or quality issue that would warrant one. The class action complaint asks the court to order a recall, but that is a request, not a ruling.
Who would be in the proposed Millie Moon class?
The complaint proposes a nationwide class of everyone in the United States who bought Millie Moon diapers for personal use, not for resale, during the longest period the law allows. It covers every size from Newborn through 8. A court has not certified any class.
Is there any money to claim from the Millie Moon lawsuit?
Not at this stage. The case was filed on October 28, 2026, no class has been certified and there is no settlement, so there is no claim form. Any future settlement would come with a court-approved notice and its own claim process.
What has Millie Moon said about the rash complaints?
Millie Moon told WCPO that there has been no change to the diapers’ formulation, materials or suppliers, that a recent update to the outer layer was visual only, and that its investigations and testing found no evidence of contamination or manufacturing defects. Those are the company’s statements; none of the allegations has been decided in court.
What does the lawsuit say about the diaper packaging?
The complaint points to packaging claims that the diapers are dermatologically tested, fragrance free, latex free and free from lotions, the Allergy Certified and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 seals, and a Target product page describing them as safe on sensitive skin. It alleges those statements were misleading because the diapers carry an undisclosed risk of rashes and burns.
