PAPER SHREDDERS ARE A POSSIBLE HAZARD FOR PETS


A recent report warns of the dangers of paper shredders to pets. The report included several instances of dogs licking the top of paper shredders. Their tongues were subsequently pulled into the shredders and mangled. One of the dogs had to be euthanized! Paper shredders are a fairly common items in the home, so please be careful. Unplug them when not in use or keep them well out of reach.

I am an employee of Fellowes - one of the largest manufacturers of paper shredders for home use.

Recently we launched an entire line of paper shredders that have a patented Safe Sense technology that shuts the shredder off if hands (or paws) get too close to the paper entry slot.

And although - I realize I am a biased source, I feel strongly that these machines are the safest paper shredders for home use in the market to date. So, if you are looking for a home use shredder ... consider a machine with Safe Sense Techology. For more information, visit our website at http://www.fellowes.com
