I purchased a Hartz 2-in-1 "Safety" flea collar for two of my cats. After the collar had been on one of the cats for a week or so, I noticed that his fur looked strange around the collar. I checked to make sure that it wasn't too tight, and when I moved the collar, his fur was gone!
All of the fur around his neck where the collar had been had been burnt off, and there were several blisters.
I had to take him to the vet, which ended up costing $75, not to mention how bad I felt for almost poisioning him! Luckily the other cat was only left with a few hairless patches, but no blisters! So, BEWARE, safety doesn't always mean safe!
