Here's an email i recently received. Just thought i would share it with my animal loving brothers and sisters.
I have heard this numerous times so wanted
to send it out again.....
Warning!!!
SWIFFER WET JET
Recently someone 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 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 to as many
People as possible so they don't lose their animals.
This is equally harmful to babies and small children that
Play on the floor a lot and put their fingers in their mouths a lot.
PLEASE, EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE BABIES, SMALL CHILDREN OR OWN A PET;
PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON! YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN OR
PETS BUT SOME OF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY WITH PETS
AND ALSO FAMILIES WITH GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN.
