I have just had brought to my attention that at least one (there may be more; I don't know) of Tesco's cleaning products is potentially lethal to cats.

The product is "Tesco Anti bacterial Cleanining Spray". the spray apparently carries a warning for animals, MOST PARTICULARLY CATS, but is as I understand it in very small print. I have just learnt of a couple who have lost one kitten and have another one in critical care, believed to be as a result of the product.

I have no idea whether any other Tesco products are the same, or indeed whether a similar product by a different manufacturer would also be the same; given how many of these generic brands are simply repackaged key brands.

Please forward to any of your contacts that have cats

I also have a question from me!

I am sure you posted a while back on someones thread about cleaning products or similiar with string smells that had dangers for some cats.....can you remember this and where it was please

This is what it says in tiny writing ....

"Do not allow pets (especially cats) to walk on treated surfaces until they are dry or to lick surfaces that have been sprayed or wiped with this product"

It does also say keep out of the reach of children and pets in bold but you'd assume that meant they shouldn't drink it

This seems to be doing the rounds at the mo. I quick google brings this cut n paste up all over the place. But I've yet to actually see anyone post a source for this information.

Right, I've just been to Tesco so I thought I would have a look at this product.

On the back label at the top it says keep away from animals and children - pretty standard warning for all products of this nature.

At the bottom of the label it says not to allow animals to walk over recently sprayed area especially cats - it does not expand further to why.
