snopes.com: Febreze Pet Danger (1518 words)
Febreze has been widely available for many years now, and it had been used in various large test markets for several years prior to its general market introduction.
Febreze was tested for nearly 5 years by scientists, doctors, safety experts and veterinarians, and all have come to the same conclusion: Febreze is safe to use around pets.
Of course, the statement that Febreze is "safe" assumes that it is being used with normal due care by pet owners; nearly any product can be dangerous when misused.
