知名寵物驅蟲項圈在美涉及近1,700例寵物死亡 受害飼主呼籲通報不良反應
動物友善網 2021-03-04記者 李娉婷/報導
近日，《今日美國》（USA TODAY）和《中西部調查報告中心》（Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting）調查報導指出，美國最受歡迎寵物驅蟲產品之一的「零蚤蝨頸圈」（Seresto）自2012年在該國上市以來，已經涉及近1,700例寵物死亡事件，但負責管制含有殺蟲劑產品的美國環保局（EPA）卻沒有對此發出警告。......................
零蚤蝨頸圈是拜耳公司（Bayer）開發的寵物驅蟲項圈，由禮藍公司（Elanco）販售，作用效期可長達8個月，它含有的殺蟲劑應該能殺死跳蚤、壁蝨和和其他對寵物有害的昆蟲，並對貓狗安全，但根據監督EPA的非營利組織「生物多樣性中心」（Center for Biological Diversity）獲得的聯邦文件，自2012引進該產品以來，EPA已收到至少1,698例與零蚤蝨頸圈有關的寵物死亡報告。.............
零蚤蝨頸圈含有益達胺（imidacloprid）和氟美林（flumethrin）兩種殺蟲劑，益達胺屬於新菸鹼類殺蟲劑，是美國最常用在農作物的殺蟲劑，歐盟禁止在戶外使用這種殺蟲劑，但允許在寵物驅蟲項圈中使用，而越來越多的證據表明，這些殺蟲劑也會對哺乳動物造成傷害。

Seresto Pet Collar Review
Related Topics: Pets
Seresto Pet Collar Review
Over the past several years, EPA has been improving its method for considering pet product-incidents, such as those reported for Seresto collars, in the pesticide registration and re-evaluation process. As part of this effort, and due to the number of Seresto-related incidents reported to EPA, the Agency began an in-depth review of the incidents of Seresto collars in 2021.
EPA has reviewed an extensive set of data it required Elanco, the current registrant of Seresto collars, to submit and reviewed the many incidents reported to EPA’s Incident Data System to determine whether the collars may contribute to an elevated number of pet-related incidents. Throughout the review process, EPA consulted with FDA, which regulates similar products for cats and dogs, including flea and tick products that are ingested. EPA used information gathered during this review process to make its determination about the product.
EPA’s Incident Review Findings
EPA’s scientific review of Seresto-related incident reports identified the need for more detailed incident reporting and public outreach. EPA analyzed all incidents that reported death for Seresto. This included 1,400 deaths reported to EPA from 2016-2020, which represent 2 percent of all Seresto incidents reported for these years. In many of the death-related incidents, critical details of the incident were often missing, preventing the Agency from determining the cause of the death.
The only reported deaths that were found to be “probably” or “definitely” related to Seresto product use were associated with mechanical strangulation or trauma caused by the collar, often associated with a failure of the release mechanism.
For all other deaths, EPA did not identify cases with a probable or definite association between collar use and death, often due to other factors impacting the animal, such as an existing medical condition. In addition, the rate of deaths reported for Seresto was similar to that for other pet products reviewed. E
EPA also analyzed all non-lethal incidents, such as neurological symptoms. In some incidents with moderate or severe clinical sign removal of the collar seemed to alleviate symptoms and/or reapplication of the collar coincided with a reoccurrence of symptoms. Based on these findings, Elanco, the registrant of Seresto, has agreed to implement the following measures:
To alert veterinarians and consumers of potential risks, the terms of continued registration require Elanco to include label warnings on Seresto products that describe common adverse effects that have been reported, along with instructions to remove the collar if those effects occur and instructions on how to report the incident. Elanco also must develop an outreach program to more effectively communicate with veterinarians and the public on the risks of using the product and other similar pesticides on pets.
To improve the quality of data reported when receiving reported incidents from consumers, Elanco must pursue additional information to the greatest extent possible to ensure that complete details of each event are captured. This information includes whether the pet had any pre-existing conditions or previous history of the reported condition. The Seresto pet collar registration has also been split into two registrations, one for cats and one for dogs, to make comparison of incident data across products easier in the future. Elanco must report incident and sales data to EPA on an annual basis.
To reduce the risk of strangulation, Elanco must evaluate potential changes to the emergency release mechanism of Seresto pet collars to prevent death by strangulation or choking. The company must submit a report detailing the data and analysis collected and performed in pursuit of this effort within one year. Based on this evaluation, EPA may require a modified release mechanism for the Seresto collar.
To allow for the continued evaluation of reported incidents, EPA has limited its current approval of Seresto collar registrations to five years. EPA will continue to evaluate Seresto incident data over that period.

Frequent Q&As
1. What are the potential risks of using Seresto pet collars on dogs and cats?
When used according to label instructions and precautions, pet products such as Seresto pet collars can be very effective, but when misapplied or not used according to directions, your pets may be unnecessarily exposed to pesticides and could become ill. More commonly reported adverse events inude itching for dogs and hair changes near the collar application site for cats. Less common, but more serious reported adverse events, include neurological symptoms, such as convulsions or ataxia.
Monitor your pet for side effects or signs of sensitivity after applying the product, particularly when using the product on your pet for the first time. Consumers whose pet experiences adverse reactions from treatment with a flea and tick product should consult their veterinarian immediately. They should also contact the National Pesticide Information Center, an EPA information-sharing partner that has staff who are specially trained in responding to pesticide exposure incidents, including those involving pets. For flea and tick collars specifically, pet owners should remove the collar immediately if the pet experiences any adverse reaction. In addition, consumers whose pets experienced an adverse reaction from pet collars or topical treatments should also report the incident on EPA’s website at www.epa.gov/pets.
2. Why didn’t EPA cancel Seresto pet collars?
Seresto pet collars continue to meet EPA’s standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) while providing important flea and tick prevention for dogs and cats, and lice control for dogs. The new mitigation measures will aid in the continued review of this product and help raise awareness in the veterinary and consumer community about potential risks from pesticide products used on pets. The new measures will also provide more information to users about how to prevent and report adverse reactions from Seresto pet collars.
3. When will the labels changes take effect?
Elanco must implement the new registration requirements by the next printing of Seresto pet collar labels, which must occur in the next 12 months. Elanco must split the pet collar registration into two registrations, one for cats and one for dogs. The company must also add label warnings on Seresto products that discuss common adverse effects that have been reported, along with instructions to remove the collar if those effects occur and instructions on how to report the incident.
4. Why is EPA continuing to review Seresto pet collars? How will EPA continue to review Seresto pet collars in the next few years?
EPA is committed to improving the process by which pet product-related incidents are considered in the pesticide registration and re-evaluation process. The Agency is requiring Elanco to report incident and sales data on an annual basis and provide additional information about incidents whenever possible. Any new data collected on Seresto will be analyzed by EPA.
5. How does the Whitepaper A Modern Approach to EPA and FDA Product Oversight impact the registration of Seresto pet collars?
The EPA and FDA whitepaper describes the current challenges and potential opportunities of a modernized approach to regulation of certain products, including products like Seresto that are topically applied to animals to control fleas or ticks. One aspect of that proposed modernized approach includes a process for transferring oversight of flea and tick pet products, such as Seresto pet collars, from EPA to FDA. The proposals in the whitepaper do not yet impact the registration of Seresto pet collars.

MONEYWATCH
Seresto flea collar should be recalled after 2,500 pet deaths, lawmakers say
moneywatch
BY AIMEE PICCHI
JUNE 17, 2022 / 9:10 AM / MONEYWATCH
The popular Seresto flea-and-tick collar should be recalled following research showing the roughly $70 device poses risks to pets and their owners, according to a new congressional report. The findings link the collar to almost 100,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths.
Almost 34 million of the collars have been sold to American pet owners, who have been attracted by the product's pledge to ward off ticks and fleas for up to eight months, compared with other treatments that must be applied monthly. But the collar, made by Elanco Animal Health, is linked to a higher number of death and injury reports than competing products, claims the report from the Committee on Oversight and Reform's subcommittee on economic and consumer policy.
The report may prompt some pet owners to question if they want to buy or continue using the product, part of the $232 billion pet-care industry. During the pandemic, more Americans adopted pets, while spending on pet-related items have surged during the health crisis, according to Grand View Research.
The subcommittee's report highlighted the number of reports of injury or death that owners linked to the collar, as well as Canada's decision to bar sales of the Seresto collar because its review of U.S. incidents and toxicology studies found it "posed too great a risk to pets and their owners to be sold in Canada."
During a hearing before the committee on Wednesday, Elanco Animal Health CEO Jeffrey Simmons said the collar is safe and had been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, undergoing more than 80 safety, toxicity and efficacy studies.
"Adverse event reports aren't proof of causation," Simmons said in the hearing. "We haven't found a single death due to the ingredients in the collar."
In 2021, there were just over 17 incident reports for every 10,000 collars sold, with most of those issues involving irritation or redness, according to Elanco. In a statement to CBS MoneyWatch, the company said an analysis of all such reports between 2013 and 2021 shows "no established link between the active ingredients in Seresto and pet death."
Added Elanco: "Given the robust scientific evidence for Seresto's strong safety profile, we are proud to stand behind the product as an important tool to protect pets from fleas and ticks and the damaging diseases they carry."
Symptoms: Skin lesions, lethargy
The report cited findings from Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), which Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat from Illinois and the chairman of the committee, said is akin to the EPA in the U.S.
The PMRA's analysis of symptoms experienced by hundreds of pets included skin lesions and irritated skin, which sometimes covered large areas of a pet's body and didn't resolve after the collar was removed, the report said. Other symptoms include lethargy, abnormal behavior, excessive grooming and vocalization, vomiting, diarrhea and anorexia, according to the panel.
"These troubling symptoms appeared shortly after use of the Seresto collar began, mostly within the first month," according to the report. "Many pet owners reacted by removing their pets' collars early," it said.
One pet owner, Thoomas Mairino, of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, said in the hearing that the family's dog suffered from increasingly severe symptoms, including a bleeding patches on her stomach and a seizure, after they began using a Seresto collar on the advice of their veterinarian. Although they consulted with several other vets, her condition worsened, and the family eventually decided to have the dog put down.
"The final 18 months of her life were agonizing to watch," he told lawmakers. "If I could help prevent another family from going through what my family went through, I wanted to act.
Some pet owners also reportedly experienced side effects, the panel's report added. These included skin and immune disorders, as well as respiratory, neurological and digestive impacts such as throat irritation, dizziness and nausea, it said.
The report included several recommendations, including a voluntary recall of the collars by Elanco. It also suggested that the EPA revamp its review process for products with pesticides.

Newly Obtained EPA Documents Reveal Seresto Flea Collars Now Linked to More Than 100,000 Reports of Harm to Pets, Nearly 2,700 Deaths
Over 10 Years Agency Has Received Average of 25 Reports Daily of Injuries to Pets Wearing Seresto Collars But Taken No Action
WASHINGTON— Reports of harm to pets wearing Seresto flea collars have now soared to 100,592, including 2,698 deaths, according to new Environmental Protection Agency incident reports obtained by the Center for Biological Diversity.
There are also 894 reports of humans being harmed after exposure to the pet collar.
The new EPA data reveals that there has been an average of 25 dog and cat injury reports per day since the collars went on the market in March 2012. An average of 21 pet deaths linked to the collars have been reported each month.
“The fact that on average, 25 different people every day are linking this collar with harm to their pet, and then reporting it to the authorities, is absolutely shocking,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center. “This has been happening constantly for 10 years, and the EPA has done nothing.”
Earlier this year the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy held an oversight hearing and released a report based on a year-long investigation detailing the EPA’s failure to take action to protect pets from harms associated with the Seresto collars.
The committee’s report detailed how Seresto had a much higher number of total incidents and “major” and “death” incidents than any other flea and tick treatments, even when accounting for the number of collars sold.
The Seresto collar had nearly 4,000 more — or 58% more — incidents than the second-most dangerous flea-control product, and over 7,000 more — or 235% more — incidents than the third most dangerous product.
The report noted that the Seresto collar was banned in Canada after an assessment by federal regulators found that it probably or possibly caused 77% of “death” and “major” reported incidents involving its use.
The EPA’s Office of Inspector General is currently investigating whether the agency has violated federal law by failing to take action on the Seresto flea collar.
Emails previously released under the Freedom of Information Act detailed how EPA managers had reportedly instructed staff not to put in writing their concerns about Seresto. The emails revealed significant internal strife within the agency regarding the pet collars, with staff scientists and incident coordinators repeatedly urging managers to take action on Seresto.
Despite the escalating number of incidents and the consistent nature of the harms reported — such as severe rashes and seizures — the EPA has put in place no restrictions or alerted pet owners to the potential risks.
In July 2021 the agency sought public comment on the Center’s petition to cancel the registration of the Seresto.
However, the newly obtained documents reveal a process fraught with delays and no commitment to a timeline on action even as more incidents and deaths are reported. An EPA review of detailed incident reports requested in April 2021 by Elanco, the flea collar’s maker, was originally estimated to be completed in September 2022. That was subsequently pushed back to sometime in “fall.” No review has been released to date.
The EPA has steadfastly remained uncommitted to a deadline to take regulatory action on Seresto a year and a half after The Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting and USA Today published their initial investigation on the issue.
“Every single month this drags on is another month where 21 more people have to make that dreaded phone call to report that their pet died after wearing this collar. And who knows how many grieving pet owners never file a report,” said Donley. “The EPA’s delay and inaction have heartbreaking consequences every day, and it’s long past time for the agency to do its job.”
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 1.7 million members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

I've been using Seresto collars on my dogs and cats since Seresto hit the market back in 2012. I normally purchase them from the vet but Amazon was cheaper so I went the cheaper route. Boy do I regret it. I just took my cat to the vet and had her yearly check up and had a whole senior panel run, which came back she was in perfect health. Then I put the collar on right after. Within days she had stopped eating and became very lethargic. I couldn't figure out what was causing it but after using Seresto for 11 years it never occurred to me it could be from the collar. Finally after a week I decided to remove the collar and see if it helped. Within 24 hours she's perked up and in 48 she was back to her normal self. Eating and playing again.
I've done a lot of research since and with the amount of lawsuits and pet deaths that have been brushed under the rug I will NOT be using this product anymore. Thankfully whatever it did to my cat was reversible and nothing more severe happened to her.
