For those of you with small pets,Very Important!
I got this from my mom
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, someones 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. Necropsy's 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.

Oh my gosh, Julie. I am so glad you posted this. I used the swiffer wet jet all the time, and poor little Ajax licks EVERYTHING. He even licks the couch. I will be sure not to use this anymore. He has had enough problems.
Thanks again.

Well, that's good to know, I was worried sick all day that I had harmed my pet by cleaning the kitchen floors, and I was looking for all of these signs that something might be wrong with him. I am glad to know it was a hoax, and not something to be concerned with.

yea, if its a forward and its amazing, if its something that you feel needs to be sent to everyone in the entire world, chances are that its nothing more than a hoax.
- Bill Gates does not want to give you money. - Theres no Nigerian in this world that needs you to transfer his money. - Forwarding emails will not cure cancer. ...and so on and so forth.

Yea pretty much, dont reply back to the email or hit the unsubscribe me button at the bottom of emails. If you subscribed to anything and want out, then hit the unsubscribe button. Because otherwise, all you're telling them is that there is a person on the other side thats actually opening those emails. Just hit the report spam button over and over again. Theres no real cure for that.
