Americans
spend more than $1 billion each year on products designed to kill fleas
and ticks on household pets,and every year they make them stronger
especially for dogs and cats.
While some of these products are safe, others leave harmful chemical
residues on our pets' fur and in our homes. These chemicals are highly
hazardous to animals and humans, can damage the brain and nervous
system, and cause cancer. The April 2009 paper Poison on Pets II
details a first-of-its-kind study by NRDC showing that high levels of
pesticide residue can remain on a dog's or cat's fur for weeks after a
flea collar is put on an animal.
Residue levels produced by some flea collars are so high that they pose a
risk of cancer and damage to the neurological system of children up to
1,000 times higher than the EPA's acceptable levels.
Danger to Children
Children
are particularly at risk from these pesticides because their
neurological and metabolic systems are still developing. They are also
more likely than adults to put their hands in their mouths after petting
an animal, and so are more likely to ingest the hazardous residues. We
found that residues from two pesticides used in flea
collars—tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur, among the most dangerous
pesticides still legally on the market—were high enough to pose a risk
to both children and adults who play with their pets.
California
has already determined that one of these pesticides, propoxur, causes
cancer and that consumer warnings are required. NRDC is suing major
manufacturers and retailers of flea collars with propoxur to make them
comply with this requirement or pull the products from California
shelves. However, California’s laws are not enough—the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) should step in to ban these dangerous products
nationwide. Retailers should help keep pets and families safe by pulling
products that contain tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur from their
shelves.
NRDC's 2000 Poisons on Pets
report led to the ban of six other pesticides in pet products, but
products containing tetrachlorvinphos and propoxur are still on store
shelves. The availability of many effective and safer alternatives for
flea and tick control makes the continued use of these pesticides an
unnecessary risk.
