Lately there has been alot of questions and passing of letters written by pet owners claiming the Swiffer WetJet has caused kidney failure and there pets have passed on. Some of these letters to get the word out even claim that snopes.com has verified the dangers of this household cleaner attaching a link to the letter. This is so far from the trueth. This product is safe and contains many of the same ingredients many of your other household cleaners contain. I’m attaching an example of one of the many letters being distributed through forums and the real link to snopes.com. Please take a moment and read snopes.com explanation to be more informed on this product along w/others.

Recently someone had to have their 5-year old German
Shepherd dog put down due to liver failure. The dog was
completely healthy until a few weeks ago, so 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 Swifter Wetjet, he noticed, in
very tiny print, a warning which stated ‘may be harmful
to small children and animals.’ He called the company to
ask what the contents of the cleaning 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 Swifter
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 so they don’t lose their animals.
This is equally harmful to babies and small children that
play on the floor a lot and put their fingers in their
mouths a lot.
