THE VERDICT'S IN ON SWIFFER WET JET RUMOR
Last week at the ASPCA, we received an influx of calls and letters
from concerned pet owners regarding a widely distributed e-mail
claiming that the chemicals in the Swiffer Wet Jet cleaning product
caused liver failure in a dog and two cats. We immediately checked
with our experts at the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC), and
are relieved to be able to set the record straight.
The Swiffer Wet Jet System contains water, propylene glycol n-butyl
and isopropyl alcohol. According to APCC veterinary toxicologists, the
ingredients in Swiffer Wet Jet are safe to use around pets when used
according to label directions and would NOT cause liver damage at
product concentrations. Propylene glycol n-butyl differs from ethylene
glycol, the potentially toxic ingredient present in most antifreeze
products that causes kidney, not liver, failure.
The APCC will continue to monitor this situation, and we will post any
updates in ASPCA News Alert as necessary. For more information on how
to protect your pet from potentially dangerous substances, please
