The veterinarian involved offered to work with the company -- Airwick -- to identify what exactly was toxic but the company refused, and also refused to reveal the ingredients of this "Veilex." They had to be threatened with lawsuits before they compensated the owner for her lost birds,and as far as I know, have still not put any warnings on their packaging ... which incidentally advertises the product as being safe around animals.
Carpet Fresh has been *documented* as being toxic to birds. There was a presentation at the AAV's annual conference in 1994 regarding a documented case of Carpet Fresh being responsible for the deaths of 13 small birds in Iowa, based on pathology reports on multiple autopsies. 8 birds died within 1 hour of exposure and the following 5 died overnight
the cause of death was identified as a proprietary ingredient called Veilex (T).
