Pampers Diapers with Dry Max

On September 28, 2011, the Court gave final approval to a class action settlement in the Dry Max Pampers Litigation, proceeding in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western Division. Plaintiffs sued defendants Procter & Gamble Co., Procter & Gamble Paper Products Co., and Procter & Gamble Distributing LLC (collectively P&G) for consumer protection law violations relating to the marketing and sales of Dry Max Pampers. The case has been appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The settlement provides that P&G will update its packaging labels to include a website address and toll-free phone number where parents can access health information. P&G will also create and fund a pediatric resident training program at leading children's health centers in the area of skin health, sponsor a program in the area of skin health, and reinstate its money-back guarantee program for consumers who purchased Pampers with Dry Max diapers.
