I got this from my mom
For those of you with animals...... 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, someones 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. Necropsy's 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.
