WARNING: Allura Hardwood Floor Cleaner Kills Dogs!
I recently had a neighbor who 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 Allura Hardwood Floor Cleaner, 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 anitfreeze is one of the ingredients. (actually he was told it's a compound
which is one molecule away from anitfreeze).
Therefore, just by the dog walking on the floor cleaned with the solution, then
licking it's own paws, and the dog eating from its dishes which were kept on the
kitchen floor cleaned with this product, 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 Allura Hardwood Floor Cleaner 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.
