Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 A friend sent me this in an email and I thought we should all do our part in memory of this dog and pass the word! PLEASE PASS THIS ON! I recently had a neighbor who had to have their 5-year old German Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was completely healthy until a few weeks ago, so 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 anitfreeze is one of the ingredients. (actually he was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from anitfreeze). Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then licking it's own paws, and the dog eating from its dishes which were kept on the kitchen floor cleaned with this product, 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 so they don't lose their animals. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! WORK FOR A COMPANY WHO'S CONCEPT IS TO RID HOMES OF POISONS LIKE THE ONE THAT KILLED THOSE PETS! http://momsfindfreedom.com RELATED ARTICLES: http://xthetoxins.tripod.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 This is an urban myth/legend. If you would like more information on it check it out at snopes.com. You can just type in " Swiffer " and it should pull it up for you.
