Dangerous kills - ripoff poison

On November 26 a cat named Socks came into the clinic where I work having seizures Under normal circumstances I wouldn't see the patient however I could not ignore the upset client in the lobby. After speaking with the client the veterinarian found out that only two hours earlier the Hartz Flea & Tick Drops were put on this baby.

I was very concerned and while speaking with the veterinarian and nurses I found out that this situation is more common than you would think. After researching online, I found numerous websites against this product. There is even one named hartzvictims.org. There was a brief newspaper article done on this baby and in that Jill Richardson was apparantly quoted saying, "the company receives an average of two calls a month from conumers concerning the product, and half are a result of the product being misapplied."

Now normally I guess this can be understood but under the circumstances of how many people have lost or almost lost their beloved pets it seems that this product is obviously way too difficult to put on properly. All you have to do is search online and you will see just a small amount of the lifes this has taken. On January 5, the same scenario happened once again, only this time the woman had two beloved cats. These babies went through 6 days of intense treatment and critical hospitalization. How can we as consumers be protected from products such as this? People think because it's on the shelves it is safe but in reality it doesn't kill the fleas at all only the cat.
