Oversight Subcommittee Report Reveals EPA Failed to Protect Pets, Owners From Dangerous Flea and Tick Collar
Jun 15, 2022 Press Release
Washington, D.C. (June 15, 2022)—Today, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, released a staff report entitled “Seresto Flea and Tick Collars: Examining Why a Product Linked to More than 2,500 Pet Deaths Remains on the Market,” which details the findings of the Subcommittee’s 16-month investigation into the safety of the Seresto flea and tick collar. The report reveals that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under previous administrations was aware of the dangers of the Seresto collar as early as 2015 and failed to take action to protect pets and their owners. Scientific experts, a former EPA official, and pet owners will testify about the dangers of the Seresto collar and the findings of the Subcommittee’s report at a hearing this afternoon.

“It is unacceptable that the EPA has been aware of the Seresto collar’s safety concerns for years and has continued to allow Americans to unknowingly put their pets in danger by using a product they have been led to believe is safe,” said Chairman Krishnamoorthi. “While I am pleased by the EPA’s new commitment to revisit the incident data, I urge the agency to initiate formal Notice of Intent to Cancel proceedings to determine whether the Seresto collar should be removed from the market, including a comprehensive cost-benefit review of its serious risks. Following the Subcommittee’s disturbing findings, I believe the EPA must expand its data collection standards and more strictly follow its scientific review process to ensure that dangerous products are not permitted to stay on the market and threaten the welfare of pets that so many Americans view as family.”

The Seresto flea and tick collar received EPA approval in 2012 and was introduced to the market in 2013. Since then, Bayer—the original brand owner of the collar—and Elanco—which purchased the product in 2020, have sold more than 30 million collars. Pet owners embraced the convenience of the product, which provides 8 months of flea and tick protection for dogs and cats for under $70, and which is widely sold by pet specialty stores, online pet pharmacies, and large online retailers.

The Subcommittee launched its investigation into the collars in March 2021, following the publication of an investigative report which revealed that, as of June 2020, there had been more than 75,000 incidents and approximately 1,700 pet deaths linked to the Seresto collar. Since then, the reported numbers have increased to more than 98,000 incidents and 2,500 pet deaths.

The Subcommittee reviewed emails from the EPA, as well as documents from Bayer and Elanco, that showed the EPA was aware of these incident numbers and the dangers caused by the collar yet failed to act. Documents and communications obtained by the Subcommittee reveal:

EPA Rushed Seresto’s Approval Through a Flawed Scientific Review Process: An EPA Risk Manager wrote in 2016 that the agency “rushed” the Seresto collar’s registration so that the CDC could use the collars in a study. The California Department of Pesticide Regulation found that key studies that tested the Seresto collar on adult dogs and cats were not acceptable because the studies “greatly under-estimated the exposures” to one of the collar’s active ingredients.

We've used Seresto collars for over ten years with great results. Never once a single flea or tick and they do last eight months as advertised. These collars are worth their weight in gold and we wouldn't trust any other product. Tractor Supply makes ordering easy and quick and their prices are the best!mike44nh

The only flea and tick treatment I use! Works great! In the past I've used the drops of flea liquid between the shoulder blades but it never seemed to work. With Lyme disease from ticks being so common, I need to protect my dogs everyday from ticks.2Crazy Dog Lady

Seresto is for flea and tick protection. It works!! I have been using them for about 5 years or so now. Since my dog's groomer told me about it. I have not seen a flea or tick since. Since it is a collar there is less danger than drops between the shoulder blades. So easy to miss the exact location. Very highly recommend this product.Gabby15

This collar keeps the flees away. No need to spray your yard, perimeter spray around your house. And then if your cat or dog did get flees, there is the flee bath, setting off flee bombs, leaving the house for house and vacuuming like crazy when you get open and open the windows to air out the boom. Gone, all of this is gone with theses collars.tsshewell

I bought collars for 2 of my cats, Maggie and Cosmo, as they were being irritated by fleas. Maggie was particularly causing concern as she was getting scabs around her neck and tail end from flea allergy dermatitis. The collars worked *very* quickly, as within a few days I noticed that both cats were scratching less, and I didn't find any fleas when I ran a flea comb through their fur. Until then I'd been at my wit's end, using flea product after flea product on both the cats and my house, to try and get rid of these pesky, and very persistent, unwelcome house guests! A great result, and the collars definitely do work. However – there's one thing I think it's important to know if you're planning to use this collar on your own pet. The nature of the collar design (stepped/ridged on the inside) *can* cause some light abrasions in places around the neck, so for the first few weeks at least I'd recommend routinely checking all round your cat's neck (parting the fur if you can) to make sure there are no irritated areas of skin. After about 4 weeks of use Maggie had a tiny area on her neck that looked like a light graze, and a few slightly scabby-feeling patches of dry skin. I took the collar off for a few days to let her skin recover, then put the collar back on. I'll repeat the process if it happens again. In summary, these collars definitely do work, and I like that I don't have to worry about applying spot-on treatments (which the cats hate). However, I recommend putting the collar on as loosely as you can, so that it's not pressing on your animal's skin too much and potentially irritating it. I also recommend checking the skin every few days and briefly taking the collar off to let any grazed area heal. If you keep an eye on things your pet should be fine 🙂Christine H

I've used this collar in the past with no problems! I ordered this one, and out of the package it looked dried up,(I can tell the difference from buying in the past) like it had been hanging around for years! I nonetheless put it on my outdoor cat, and right away she had small tics all around her eyes! Every day the same thing! My cat was NOT happy about this daily routine, until I finally bought and am currently using Frontline with NO tics since!!!jillandjak

Great flea and tick collar for cats. Collar is a cute light grey color and is much slimmer than other collars I have seen which is really nice since my cat was not a big fan of wearing a collar. The little can the collar comes in has easy to follow instructions as well as these wonderful reflective clips you can add to the collar to hold down the end part if it sticks out too much or if you want to see your sweet kitty goes outdoors and you want to be able to spot them at night (thinking of when they cross a street and a car is coming). The most important though is how really well this collar has worked to keep fleas and ticks off my cat. Within 24hrs my cat had serious relief from the critters that were bothering her and making her scratch herself. She was so bothered by fleas and/or ticks that she was loosing hair on her lower belly. Now she significantly has decreased her scratching. I haven't seen any fleas on her (and she goes on daily adventures outside). Her lost hair is now growing back as well. I am super happy I bought this collar. I had hesitated because it is pricey but oh is it worth it! I had tried the monthly liquid flea products you place in between the cat's shoulder blades and that was torture as my cat would absolutely hate it and it would cause her to scratch and lick the area I placed the product and she would also lose hair there too. But not with this collar. Not only does she not seemed bothered by it but it has had no negative side effects of hair shedding. The collar lasts 8 months so I don't have to remember to reapply flea treatment every month. I would definitely purchase this collar again and would highly recommend it to others.Isabelle75

* Still an early review Have two inside cats and fleas have been a problem for awhile now. I've been giving flea baths every two weeks and Advantage once a month along with vacuuming furniture. I keep seeing the scratching and nibbling so decided to give the collar a try. Within an hour fleas were falling off everywhere they'd sit. I have linoleum and hardwood so I could spot the fleas easily. What made me notice initially was one of the cats sat in my lap and I noticed 5 or 6 dying fleas on me. They don't scratch their faces anymore and sleeping seems to be better. This is only day 2 and I'll update a few months later but as of right now this collar will massacre any flea problem your cat has. Would recommend highly to anyone considering it.Fenrir

the best flea collar there is at a price that is amazing. have tried many others but none work as well or as long.it arrived on time in perfect new sealed can. just get this one your dog will thank youdafidd81

In our family, we have previously only used these for our dogs and they work amazingly well so we tried one for our cat and the results were better than we expected. Her whole attitude changed – she is more relaxed and playful. No more irritated scratching and licking. Within three days she was stretched out on the floor and comfortable. This is how it should be. With no lapse of time in between the monthly dosing as in regular topical flea medicines, the collar makes it easy to use, no mess, and more effective. I recommend Seresto collar to anyone who has pets, It is well worth the money. Ebay is the best price I have found for them.possumuhbilities

Look no further here's the BEST protection for your dogs, against bugs that can hurt us humans too. Been using this fab necklace for decades. Nothing comparable so don't think twice and you have one worry less!btlily

Our puppy is constantly on the go! She loves to be outside during this time of the year, chasing her ball and going on walks. The only problem is we have plenty of ticks and bugs that try to get on her. The PetArmor Flea & Tick collar is designed for this problem. The packaging and instructions make it easy to get going. I appreciate that each collar is good for a full 6 months of protection. It's also water resistant and easy to get set up as it's a one size fits all collar. If you are looking for a solution to help keep fleas and ticks away / under control, the Pet Armor collar is a good option.moj14

PetArmor products have been the family favorite for many years. They work well and are easy to use. I've always preferred the collars over liquid drops because my dogs always seem to freak out when using the drops for some reason. The collars go on easy and blend in with their regular dog collars so nobody really notices them and the dogs are already use to wearing collars. I feel at ease knowing my best buds are protected whenever we go out for walks or runs in the park and woods. I highly recommend all PetArmor products.Bubba44103

Pet Armor Flea and Tick collars are convenient, semi easy to use, ready to go in minutes and there is no mess. They have a nice natural odor that is pleasant. I really like the metal tin that they come in. However I was a bit confused as it stated that there is one collar but clearly there are two. I chose a 4 star rating simply because it was not immediately clear on how to fasten the collar. I had to play around with it a bit to figure it out, but I would say that would be the only negative I spotted. The collar is light weight, extremely flexible, so it makes it comfortable for my pup to wear. The excess was snipped off and I had a well fitting collar. I have yet to see a single flea or tick since I started using the collar.Sattie

I have an approximately 12 pound maltipoo. He is very active and likes to roll outside. We had always used Soresto flea collars (approx. $50 for 6 months) and had bought 2 in a row that stopped working after about a week. I decided to try this collar for a lesser value and am SO pleased with the results!! Within minutes of putting it on my Bailey, 7 or 8 fleas rose to the surface of his fur like they were trying to escape (haha) and I have not seen any since then. It has been a while now and I still haven’t seen any. It says water resistant but I decided not to test it so I took it off for a bath and it was easy to take off and put back on. I will definitely be buying more of these in the future for all of my pets!sara615

I purchased one of these for each of my dogs. After about a month with the collars on, my dogs were covered with ticks. I pulled 23 ticks off of them. They weren't just small ticks, but ones that had been on for many days. I returned them and purchased flea and tick meds.lkp100

The Zodiac Flea & Tick Collar is the perfect all-purpose collar for my working “horse dog”. Since he patrols our farm and lives with the horses 24/7, we don’t leave a regular collar on him – too dangerous should it hang up on a fence, and too expensive if we use the quick-release type bra cause of the frequent need to replace it. The Zodiac collar is a great solution – he generally manages to keep it on until replacement time, and should he snag it, it slips off easily. It’s economical to replace, and does a good job of controlling fleas & ticks. Highly recommended!donmbrink

i have a 3 month old and a two month old teddy bear…Bichons. They both weigh under 8 pounds. i went to pet smart and purchased 2 seresto flea and tick collars for small dogs, but on the front it says small dogs up to 18lbs. so my question is, could i use them on the puppies or return them and get for smaller dogs, or maybe cats. thanks for your time.Michael S.

These collars are ineffective! I have found multiple attached ticks on my dogs, right next to the collar. I have used Adams Flea and tick products for foster dogs/cats before, and they seemed to work well. So although I prefer not to use poisons, thought I would try on my own dogs after a mild winter and ticks are appearing in this area (Central NH) more and more. Very disappointed. Wish I could return them, but did not save the packaging.D

The Adams Flea Tick Collar for Dogs are my go-to tick collars for my four-legged babies!! They really work great and very inexpensive. I’ve always really like that they come in packs of 2 because I have 2 big doggies. However, we just recently welcomed a a new baby into our family. Chief’s a full-blooded Chocolate Lab. The packs of 2 are still great though, because I always keep a couple spare packs as backups. We live in Alabama and these are a necessity year round.marcie.m

My 4 month old chiuahaua puppy hasn't been right since buying this collar! Started out fine and then by that night I was woke up to my furbaby scratching uncontrollably at his neck and twitching like he was being stung randomly then came the hallucinations bc he we are night 2 and collar free of course and he's been up all night crying and restless with doe eyes and terror. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen. He's so scared he won't even close his eyes. Beware of this product.Courtney

It seems to work well against ticks but the handling is rather difficult. Really hard to close it and then it cannot be taken off anymore (e.g. for a bath or simply comfort) without breaking it. I very much preferred the other tick collars WnP had, pity they do not sell them anymore.Jochen K.

First, the great: I love the way this collar smells. My husband is extremely sensitive to smells so most of the tick collars have been too strong for him. This cedarwood/ peppermint combo is lovely and not strong-smelling. The good: getting the collar put together was a little tough. The first stop is difficult to get past, but then it’s fine. The not great: I have still gotten a few ticks off of my golden retriever. I still feel this is better than if she didn’t have anything on. Thanks for making a product that is so wonderful.Kate D.

This collar does smell great. We also haven't had any flea or ticks so it's also working. We are not happy with it though for two reasons: 1. It's hard to get tight and one of our cats keeps getting it caught in his jaw when he cleans himself, so we finally had to remove the collar. 2. I am concerned one of our cats could get choked by this collar if caught in something. It's very strong and doesn't have any "break-away," feature so this possibility worries me.Susan K.

The Salvo Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs come is different sizes. The size I received is Small/Medium. It fits necks up to size 20". This is for a dog 11 to 25 pounds. Just cut off whatever you have that is left over. It does not cause a problem. It has a really smooth feel to it. So it is not rough against your dog's neck. It is a thin collar so it is out of the way. It has a triple clasp so the collar will not fall off. That would be a bummer. I would be so upset to buy this and then it falls off. Well, they thought of that for us. Thank goodness. It is an off white color. There are two of them. Use one of them and then six months later put the other one on for the next six months. Can't beat the price for twelve months protection. I didn't know I was getting two collars. I was shocked when I opened it up and found two. But it makes sense. The chemicals can only last so long. By the way, I read up on the active ingredient Deltamethrin and found it to be safe. My dog is my family and I treat him as such. I would not use this product if I didn't feel it weren't safe. My dog's name is Oliver and he is my life. It is up to me to keep him safe and happy as I feel it is up to you. Some dogs are sensitive. If your dog is sensitive then wash him or her with mild soap and lots of water. Wear gloves when you put this on your dog. The collar is waterproof. The collar uses Time Release Technology and works with your dogs natural oils. My Oliver is a Bichon Frise. I have to groom him every two months because his hair grows so fast. I don't know if this is going to keep the collar from doing it's job because of him having to be bathed often. It said it works with the dogs natural oils. I live in an Apartment with a man-made lake around it. This is the reason for the flea problem So far the collar works. I do not have a tick problem in my area. I do recommend this collar for fleas.alienpsychomom

I've been using seresto flea and tick collars for years and have never had a problem with fleas or ticks. I decided to use Salvo flea and tick as it was more affordable for my seven dogs. Within a month several of my dogs had fleas and ticks! What a waste of money! Going back to Seresto. Expensive but works!Celeste Nunnally

I like that this flea and tick collar is affordable and long lasting. Im always surprised at how much these collars cost but I consider them to be a necessity in protecting my min pin. I had first heard of this brand from my neighbor who swears by it. Her energetic dog loves to roll in the grass and root in the brush and is frequently exposed to fleas and ticks. I decided to try it on my little dog and am happy with the results. The first thing I'd like to point out is this product is half of the cost of the leading flea collar. The tin contains 2 collars with each being effective for 6 months so one tin will get your pet a year of protection. The collars are time released so they should be just as effective at the end of their use then in the beginning. Since I recently got these I couldn't say whether that's true of not. One thing to remember with all flea collars is these contain pesticides so it's important to keep an eye on your pet to check for any potential reactions. I noticed when reading other reviews for their opinions that some people were having trouble getting the collar to stay on. On the packaging it states the collar has a proprietary 3 clasp system which I think people don't understand how it works. I took a picture of the underside of the collar to show it has a system of grooves and slots which when pulled through the clasp area with lock the collar in place. It is extremely strong as I tested it pulling very hard and it did not budge. It also has a peel away strip for your dog's comfort. The directions do not say what to do with this so I'm assuming some people aren't pulling it off which they're supposed to. This could be the reason for the collar not staying. on their dogJAD12

I bought a month ago 3 of them. After 10 days, it broke off. I tried a new one and it broke off again. So not well made.Audubon homestead

Came with no directions and was EXTREMLY difficult to secure to my dog's neck. I had to staple and duct tape it to my dog's existing collar.Dor6

This flea/tick collar is a great economical product for controlling fleas and ticks. If your dog does get ticks they die on the animal and you can remove them knowing they didn't feed very long. The price is good and its supposed to last about 8 months, I usually change them at 6 because my dogs are outside mostly and highly athletic (getting wet) and figure their efficiency is probably compromised by t hat somewhat. Still a good price for what they do. As long as the parasites don't get resistant.janice s

I really love this product. I have tried many shampoos, sprays, and pour on flea control medications. None of them worked for more than a week. My poor dog would go outside and come in covered with fleas. He could not sleep due to itching and scratching. With the soresto collar, he has not scratched for 8 months. He is much happier and content due to no fleas. I am happy due to no fleas in my house or on my dog. I am getting ready to purchase another one for him. Definitely worth the money and happiness!Peg

Not a fan of chemical use, on us humans or our beloved furbabes. Resorted to the use of these collars for our cats and dogs, knowing full well of the fact that there are chemicals, sadly. But, keeping them free of the bugs, (us as well, as a result), has been great for four seasons now. Valley Vet Supply has been superior with all of our orders. Prices are not comparable, but indeed lower. And anytime I need to verbally speak with a representative, I am always delighted with the quick, genuine help and ease. And the fact that the individuals truly represent this company well. Thank you Valley Vet for being a company of lost days!LISS

Our puppy is constantly on the go! She loves to be outside during this time of the year, chasing her ball and going on walks. The only problem is we have plenty of ticks and bugs that try to get on her. The PetArmor Flea & Tick collar is designed for this problem. The packaging and instructions make it easy to get going. I appreciate that each collar is good for a full 6 months of protection. It's also water resistant and easy to get set up as it's a one size fits all collar. If you are looking for a solution to help keep fleas and ticks away / under control, the Pet Armor collar is a good option.moj14

PetArmor products have been the family favorite for many years. They work well and are easy to use. I've always preferred the collars over liquid drops because my dogs always seem to freak out when using the drops for some reason. The collars go on easy and blend in with their regular dog collars so nobody really notices them and the dogs are already use to wearing collars. I feel at ease knowing my best buds are protected whenever we go out for walks or runs in the park and woods. I highly recommend all PetArmor products.Bubba44103

Pet Armor Flea and Tick collars are convenient, semi easy to use, ready to go in minutes and there is no mess. They have a nice natural odor that is pleasant. I really like the metal tin that they come in. However I was a bit confused as it stated that there is one collar but clearly there are two. I chose a 4 star rating simply because it was not immediately clear on how to fasten the collar. I had to play around with it a bit to figure it out, but I would say that would be the only negative I spotted. The collar is light weight, extremely flexible, so it makes it comfortable for my pup to wear. The excess was snipped off and I had a well fitting collar. I have yet to see a single flea or tick since I started using the collar.Sattie

My vet recommended these to me three years ago when I noticed my adopted dog had cresks in her legs when she stood up. Her left leg goes pop from the hip a bit, but it is very slight. I've given her these just about every day for the past three years without incident. I no longer hear regular creeks and I attribute the maintenance to Glycoflex. My vet said that this was the only glucosamine product (except maybe Cosequin) that tests show has the actual amounts of the active ingredient in it. I give the Joint Treats to my puppy for support, but I don't think he needs them. I won't be switching to Joint Treats.2dogsandacat

Our 9mo old puppy was having her back knee caps pop out of place several times a day. Once she started taking the Glyco Flex 1 twice daily, her problems stopped. She has been taking them for about 6 months now and her problem completely stopped. Excellent product!!!Tracey K.
