IMPORTANT FOR PET OWNERS
I JUST GOT THIS EMAIL
This was forwarded to me by a friend. - > > > >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, 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 Wet jet, 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 Wet jet 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. >

Re: IMPORTANT FOR PET OWNERS
I called North Shore Animal League when i received that email and they told me that it is not true and that the email is an urban legend. I would not be shocked if one of Swifters competitors started it!
