For those of you with animals......or small children
I recently had a neighbor who had their 5-year old
German shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was
completely healthy until a few weeks ago. They had a necropsy done to
see what the cause was. The liver levels were unbelievable, as if the
dog had ingested poison of some kind. The dog is kept inside, and when
he's outside, someone's with him, so the idea of him getting into
something unknown was hard to believe. My neighbor started going through
all the items in the house. When he got to the Swiffer Wetjet, he
noticed, in very tiny print, a warning which stated "may be harmful to
small children and animals." He called the company to ask what the
contents of the cleaning agent are and was astounded to find out that
antifreeze is one of the ingredients. (Actually he was told it's a
compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze). Therefore, just by
the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking its
own paws, it ingested enough of the solution to destroy its liver. Soon
after his dog's death, his housekeepers' two cats also died of liver
failure. They both used the Swiffer Wetjet for quick cleanups on their
floors. Necropsies weren't done on the cats, so they couldn't file a
lawsuit, but he asked that we spread the word to as many people as
possible. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT OWN A PET PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON!
