Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Dear Group- I received this forwad from a friend this morning and thought I'd pass it on. Has anyone else heard of this happening? " This is really scary!!! You just never know!!! > Warning for your animal's health: > A 5-year old German Shepherd was 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 neighbour 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 anitfreeze). Therefore, 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! " Sure makes you think about cleaning solvents doesn't it? Personally, I use a weak dish soap and water solution for cleaning the floor and it works great.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Interesting. John Travolta's wife is a big advocate of not using toxic cleaning supplies in your home. She said her son was extremely sick and no doc could figure out why and she got to talking to some parents in the waiting room whose kids were also sick and the only thing they all had in common is they'd all recently cleaned their carpets. They used store bought chemically enhanced cleaners. When I read about that, Brock was crawling so everything on the floor went in his mouth and reading that made me sick. I steam cleaned my carpets regularly to make them " clean " so he could play on them.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Wow, another scarey story. Thanks for sharing this. Kelli Mom to a black lab puppy and 3 kitties 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.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Suzi just posted that it wasn't true. Either way, I would suspect that it does probably contain chemicals. Not a truly natural product! :)Kelli An-Marie Gameiro [angameiro] Thursday, May 20, 2004 7:54 AMherbal remedies Subject: Re: Herbal Remedies - ANOTHER FRANKENMONSTER PRODUCT Does anyone know if this statement is true or not?
