1-34537971 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that his cat was exposed to an insecticidal product containing the active ingredient methoprene. The reporter indicated that he applied the product to his 7-year-old, 16 pound cat one month prior to initial contact with the registrant without incident and then he applied it again one night prior to initial contact with the registrant and after this application the cat had a seizure and passed away. The reporter was advised that the product has little to no toxicity in mammals and the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to the product.
