AVMA policy
 
Ethylene Glycol
(EB approved 11/02, EB approved CEI revision 11/03, EB approved CoVS revision 11/08-oversight: CEI)
 

The AVMA recommends that manufacturers and distributors of ethylene glycol provide clear warning labels, including the universal symbol of the "skull and crossbones," that emphasize the danger of this product to animals and people. The AVMA further recommends that manufacturers of ethylene glycol implement means to reduce the palatability to animals of ethylene glycol preparations.
