Antifreeze Poisoning Legislation

By

In Massachusetts there is legislation to close the antifreeze poisoning loophole. S.88 An Act Relative to Anti-freeze and Engine Coolant, which would require the addition of a bittering agent to wholesale containers of engine coolant or anti-freeze, which were exempted in the law that passed during the last legislative session. This would expand the current antifreeze law to prevent poisonings of children and animals. On June 12, 2012, S.88 passed the Senate unanimously and is awaiting a final vote in the House. Find out what the laws are in your area and speak to your representatives and let them know that you want to put an end to child and animal antifreeze poisoning deaths.

Antifreeze Poisoning in Massachusetts

By

As of 2011, Massachusetts law requires the addition of a bittering agent to retail containers of antifreeze to deter ingestion and poisonings of children and animals. However, many people get their cars serviced at garages, which use wholesale containers of antifreeze that are not treated with a bittering agent. Leaks of untreated antifreeze still result in poisonings. In MA legislation has been filed that would require that wholesale containers, such as those used at automotive service stations, also contain a bittering agent to prevent ingestion. Find out what your state requires and speak to your representatives about a national law.

Solution to the Antifreeze Death Problem

By

One solution to the antifreeze death problem is to require all antifreeze manufacturers to add in a non-toxic bittering agent that makes it taste awful. This will save countless lives of children and pets. Many states, and even some cities, are considering legislation requiring the addition of the bitterent denatonium benzoate to antifreeze. This would make the antifreeze virtually impossible for a child or animal to be poisoned by the usually sweet-tasting liquid. Find out if this is required where you live.

Thank You

By

We would like to thank all that helped with our 7th Annual Animal Rescue League Collection Drive. Your generosity will allow the shelters to care for these abandoned/abused animals for a long time to come. A cat was even adopted due to this drive!! I wish we could stop collecting forever, but as long as there are animals in need, we will be there to do our part. We’ll see you next year for our 8th annual drive.
