Amazon boxes

[MissSkittles]

Someone just alerted me to this on Facebook and I’m wondering if anyone knows about it. Not worried for my old lazy cats…they aren’t into playing in boxes. However, I do repurpose some Amazon boxes to transport my chameleons to the vet. Depending on which vet we go to, they can be in the box for anywhere from 1-3 hours.

Wow, it's a wonder they are not mandated to display some kind of warning??

Coming from a Facebook source, I’ve no idea if it’s true or not. Was hoping someone else may have heard or know something.

Argh! I should have googled it before sharing. It is false according to Snopes. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/amazon-spray-boxes-chemicals/
Sorry!!! The kids and cats can keep their forts and my chams can keep their carrier boxes.

Sorry Salty. I used to almost obsessively double check on the things I was sent or alerted to. Guess everyone got sick of my disproving their stuff and I haven’t been sent anything for years. I’ve forgotten I need to double check things.

If I had thrown them away, there would 14 more here by the weekend

Amazing how facebook flags stuff now like everything including stuff that is accurate but did not flag that. Guess Amazon does not pay them enough lol

That's what I suspected reading the OP.

However .... https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterina...nd-import-samples-animal-food-and-animal-food

Now the question (in my mind) is:
Is it better to leave this thread up as-is and risk proliferation by googlers & those who don't read the whole thread who may think the OP is confirmation, just deleting the whole thing, or deleting it and posting another with the whole story in the OP?
