 Proctor & Gamble ~ Swifter Wet Jet September 14, 2005 10:59 PM

I myself use green house cleaning products, but there are just to many reports of peoples animals being poisened to death from an antifreeze type chemical Proctor and Gamble puts into their Swifter Wet Jet soultion!

Proctoer and Gamble won't disclose their exact ingriedients, and more research should be done - at this point they just have the poison warning on their label.
But a lot of talk is out their about anilmals dieing and after having liver tests done, and after excluding other causes it looks like this product in particular is very hazardous.

They are a horrible company. Everyone should boycott all of their products. Thet conduct some of the worst animal testing, and also own Eukanuba and IAMS, through those two companies conduct cruel and fatal long term experiments on cats and dogs. Please ask everyone to boycott Proctor and Gamble, and every one of it's sub-companies.  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

Freedriver, I missed seeing that thread or I would have posted this there ~~~ thanks for the extra info!

And thank you for looking that list of products up. I myself stick to strictly green, and cruely frre products, but the list is good for awarness etc. purposes for sure!!! I will pass the word indeed...

Man, this hits a real sore spot..................................
I am so angry at Proctor and Gamble! And they are making a killing on the Swifter products as too. I may have to refrain from this thread because I can handle animal cruelty, but it's good that people are very conscience about this *bleep* company!
