For those of you with animals or small children in the house ...... 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 .
