EPA: Some flea and tick collars pose danger to children
An Environmental Protection Agency report warns that propoxur, a
flea-killing chemical in flea collars marketed by Sergeant's Pet Care
Products and Wellmark International, is unsafe for children. However,
the products can be distributed until two years from now, and retailers
can continue to sell them after that until their stock is gone.
Veterinary dermatologist Daniel Morris says there are safer products
available and urges owners to consult with their veterinarian to
determine the best approach.
