(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms

1-38187759 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her cat was exposed to an insecticidal shampoo containing the active ingredients pyrethrins, n-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and piperonyl butoxide. The reporter stated that she shampooed her 8-year-old, female cat with the product four days prior to initial contact with the registrant and then against labeled directions she re-bathed the cat three days prior to initial contact (labeling indicates that bathing may be repeated weekly). During the second bath the cat began to moan, it foamed at the mouth and had a seizure. Per the reporter the cat died within 10 minutes of product application. The reporter also indicated that it was possible that the cat may have ingested some of the shampoo. The reporter was advised that the product contains a very low concentration of active ingredients and the described symptoms are not consistent with use of the product. A necropsy could help determine an underlying cause for death but the reporter indicated that the body was no longer available. No further information is available.
