The guide lists the products, the chemicals they contain and the risks they pose. It’s*part of a NRDC’s new*Green Paws campaign that helps consumers find the safest flea-control products that won’t endanger pets or children.
NRDC released a report (http://www.nrdc.org/health/poisonsonpets) yesterday warning of dangerously high levels of two carcinogenic neurotoxins on pet fur after the use of ordinary flea collars. The organization*filed a lawsuit*against companies including Petsmart, Petco and Sergeants; and it*has asked the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of the chemicals in flea collars.
