I wouldn't rush to defend these products. Pet medications are regulated by the FDA. However, topical flea treatments were regulated by the EPA until very recently because it was assumed they didn't enter the bloodstream.

It is tragic how many pets have suffered for that mistake, if it was a mistake.
