ATLANTA (AP) - A waterproofing boot spray has sickened nearly 200 people and more than two dozen pets in the Midwest since early last year, health officials said Thursday.
No one died, but people in five states reported coughing and breathing problems, and more than 80 went to hospitals. A 69-year-old Michigan man was put on a ventilator and hospitalized for 19 days, said Susan Smolinske of the regional poison control center at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit.
Three housecats died after exposure to the aerosol products, Smolinske said.
