GT85 spray. Animal Friendly?

[migrantwing]

Didn't know where else to post this so...

I know that GT85 is Eco/Environmentally friendly (contains no CFC's), but is it or is it not tested on animals?

TIA

Why do you want to use it on animals?

The cats smell nicer with a quick blast of it.

Nothing nicer that a nice smelling lubricated pussey.

I'm sure this would have been a line from ' open all hours'!

You're having a tin bath. It's got PTFE in, hasn't it? And I'm not a toxicologist, but it's almost certainly harmful to animals.

It says on the tin "call a POISON CENTER\doctor if you feel unwell".

Safety data sheet suggests it is a mild irritant to humans.

To smaller animals???

It doesn't say that on the can that I have.

I'll drop 'em a line tomorrow.

There's a difference between a product being harmful to animals and a product being tested on animals. A certain supermarket's own brand of toiletries are animal cruelty free/not tested on animals, but I'm certain that if I ingested a bottle of shower gel, I'd be pretty ill, let alone an animal.

[QUOTE 3906812, member: 9609"]It is always difficult to get the truth on these matters, I guess companies like to distance themselves from the toxicity tests that establish how much of a product will need to be ingested before illness and death occurs, and how much needs to be dripped into the eyes of mammals before they go blind etc - but as far as I am aware it is only toiletries in the UK that don't have to go through toxicity testing. I presume some products don't have to go through toxicity testing if the ingredients have already done so - why not email them and ask (sales@gt85.co.uk)[/QUOTE]

You have a very valid point. I'll shoot 'em an email.

Just as it's harmful to humans.

Thanks for the data

it's basically oil/paraffin so I'd be astonished if it isn't somewhat toxic. CFC-free is of course a "good thing" but given CFCs are outright banned now, it's hardly a big claim - and anyhow, I can't really envisage why you'd want CFCs as an ingrediant (propellant maybe?) any more than you'd want CFCs in a jar of jam.

All that said I'd not see this sort of product, used sensibly, as an environmental biggie

Oh I don't know, the human race has been ingesting animals for millennia......
