DANGER!! The Swiffer Wetjet
The Swiffer Wetjet
THIS IS TRUE & VERIFIED ON SNOPES.COM
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 was 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 housekeeper's two cats also died of Live 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 aLot and put their fingers in
their mouths alot.
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.

I'm sure any chemical you use for cleaning, if you digest enough of it you could be poisoned!

i don't use a Swiffer Wet Jet. What's the point when i could clean up a spill with a towel right away or paper towel. i can always mop the floor with a regular mop and bucket.
There are a lot of chemicals out there that are harmful to animals and small children. They even say so in big letters on the from of the label. "May be harmful to Animals and small children." It mostly says that on the bug killers.
