Death
The information contained in this report is based on self-reported statements provided to the registrant during telephone Interview(s). These self-reported descriptions of an incident have not been independently verified to be factually correct or complete descriptions of the incident. For that reason, information contained in this report does not and can not form the basis for a determination of whether the reported clinical effects are causally related to exposure to the product identified in the telephone interviews. When considering the body of regulatory data and post-marketing data as well as the weight of scientific peer reviewed evidence on the active ingredients used in this product such a causal relationship appears to lack plausibility given the concentrations of the active ingredients within the pet shampoo. The cat's medical history was not obtained, the extent of an existing flea infestation was not documented nor was the application of other flea adulticides ruled out. Furthermore, this cat did not receive a proper veterinary evaluation nor was a necropsy performed to determine the cause of death.
