The Consumer Specialty Products Association and the Humane Society Legislative Fund have announced that the U.S. antifreeze industry will begin voluntarily adding a bitter flavoring agent to discourage animals and children from ingesting antifreeze and other products containing ethylene glycol.
Ethylene glycol is highly toxic, with a sweet smell and taste that attracts both animals and children. It is rapidly absorbed, which leads to systemic poisoning that starts with the central nervous system.
If you suspect your pet has ingested antifreeze or any substance containing ethylene glycol, you should seek immediate veterinary care. Also carefully read labels on all antifreeze and automotive coolant products in your home and follow instructions on how to use, store and dispose of them
