sure wish they would have named names!!
Darn! I think it is awful that they aren't compelled to state the chemicals on the labels. Especially the air fresheners. We do end up 'breathing' those. Children are even more susceptible I would think. Spray a scent and watch them inhale deeply. They always do. Also, I have long felt that putting pleasant (?) scents in bug sprays is idiocy.

I had a major problem with my Sassy and Swiffer. And the problems were severe! Bloody diarrhea (lots of blood) and vomiting. It took me a while and quite a bit of money at the vet's before I figured it out on my own. I think we had about three episodes of this and ever since I stopped using it, no more problems.

Thank you for posting this. I do not use spray air fresheners because of Sassy. I do use candles instead. I also buy the unscented detergent, but from what the article said, I may just be buying a product with another chemical that masks the scent. Aaaarrrggghhh!! Even when you try you can't escape it!
