Skin irritation and lesions. Hair loss. Numbness, tingling and pain. Vomiting and seizures. Even 2,700 reported pet deaths. These are some of the harms to cats and dogs from Seresto flea and tick collars, as reported by more than 100,000 people. The collars have even been used on endangered San Joaquin kit foxes in California.
The collars are banned in Canada for good reason. It's past time for the United States to ban these dangerous products too.
The Center for Biological Diversity has been working for years on the scientific, legal and legislative fronts to expose and avoid the damage caused by Seresto collars.
But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has yet to take any action to even warn the public. And now the agency is talking about shifting the job of regulating these products to the Food and Drug Administration. While that shift makes sense, the process will take time — and we need action on Seresto now. More than 2,700 pets have already reportedly died from these collars.
You can help: Tell the EPA to immediately ban Seresto collars.
