Hi,

 

The article linked below states that the EPA has "Increased Scrutiny of Flea and Tick Control Products for Pets". I don't know if this is old or new but the website says it was updated today. It apparently listed products that were under assessment - did anyone see this prior to the removal of the product review list?

Thanks,

It is new. There was a brief discussion of it last week in the General section of the boards.

 

Frontline Plus was on the list. So were several of the brands sold in grocery stores and pet stores. That made me wonder if the reason those products were on the list is that they were the most commonly used ones, rather than those specific products being disproportionately dangerous.
