Friday's Urban Legend from snopes.com
The claim is that Swiffer WetJet contains antifreeze and traces are left when the floor has been cleaned. If dogs lick the floor they will ingest the poison and die.
The claim circulates in a standard email message from a women who says that her dog and two cats died of liver failure because of Swiffer WetJet. This particular urban legend seems to be widely believed.
It is completely false. Nobody seems to have noticed that the product continues to be sold in stores and the company (Proctor & Gamble) has not been bankrupted by massive lawsuits from pet owners.
