Ripple effect is firing on scroll

I'm getting the ripple effect to fire on touch (scroll) and not on click like it should be (guessing). This is happening either on ion-ripple-effect tag or in an ionic tag that has the ripple effect by default (like ion-item).

Here is a snippet of my code using the ion-ripple-effect tag:

<ion-row class="dash ion-margin-top">
  <ion-col size-xs="6" size-sm="4" size-md="3" *ngFor="let item of dash">
    <div class="box shadow">
      <div class="content ion-activatable" routerLink="{{item.route}}">
        <ion-icon name="{{ item.icon }}" color="primary"></ion-icon>
        <ion-label color="dark">{{ item.name }}</ion-label>
        <ion-ripple-effect></ion-ripple-effect>
       </div>
    </div>
  </ion-col>
</ion-row>

Does anyone have encountered this, and if so, knows who to solve it?

Thanks in advance.
