My cousin sent this email to me regading possible fatal dangers of the swifferjet and pets.I thought I would share it in hopes that this never happens to anyone.

For those of you with pets......

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, 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 comp! any to ask what the contents of the c! leaning 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.

Add grapes and raisins to the list of things not to give your pets.
These
can cause kidney failure in pets. FYI
