A furious mum claims a Tesco nappy caused a severe red rash to develop on her 10-month-old baby's skin.
Emma Knight, 32, shared photos on social media of Logan's raw and peeling skin.
She says the Fred and Flo Ultradry 4+ nappies she bought from Tesco have caused "burns" and has pressed the supermarket giant for answers.
"The most recent pack I've been using have caused, what I can only assume, is chemical burns on my son.
"When I changed him before bed all his skin was starting to peel off I knew then that it wasn't nappy rash and immediately put a one of my toddler's nappies on him," the mother-of-four, of Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, said today.
Emma claims her family GP examined Logan and told her the burns were caused by the nappies, which cost £2.99 for a pack of 44.
She says the doctor prescribed antibiotics and steroid cream.
Emma, who is a home care assistant, added: "On Monday morning I noticed my son was becoming red down below but put it down to nappy rash from him teething.
"I never imagined nappies could cause this. I've been doing some research online and it seems this has happened a lot.
"I've decided to make the switch to reusable nappies permanently and I couldn't bare to have this happen again. I will certainly be pressing Tesco's for answers."
Social media users shared their concern for the distressed tot.
"Oh my god. Hope he's okay," wrote one.
"Oh my God! Definitely looks like some sort of burn, bless him! Take this to the top hun," another mum posted.
And a father said: "There were other posts like this last week. Tesco should've pulled them from their shelves straight away, not continued selling them.
"No excuse whatsoever for this. The manufacturers of the nappies should be put out of business too, if this is what their product does."
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We take great care in the manufacture of all our products, especially those for babies and children.
"Our nappies are made of materials which do not irritate the skin, and they go through rigorous independent dermatological tests to make sure they are completely safe for a baby’s sensitive skin.
"We would like to reassure the customer that there is nothing in them that could cause a chemical burn.”
