Hi Friends,This notice came to me from my sister and is highly considered to be true in nature. She is an RN, and came by it from a company representative.If you use it, read the additives yourself, or call if they are not on the package. I know that we have used it at least once and now I am worried about it.We have four cats and all of them have been real drowsy and have quit playing and are losing hair at an alarming rate (way more than normal spring shedding).So, I thought I had better send it to all on the list...FYI.Best of luck to you all. May peace and prosperity come your way.Jude

Subject: VERY IMPORTANT!!!
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
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.
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the
solution, then licking it's 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!
