swiffer wet jet warning I just got
I dunno if there is truth to it but just incase I threw ours away this was sent to me from my grandmother.... she knows the wife is addicted to cleaning....
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.
