Make It Compulsory for All Antifreeze to Contain Bitterant

Closed 209 signatures

What the petition asks

Make it a legal requirement for all antifreeze products sold in the UK to contain bitterant (such as denatonium benzoate).
We believe this would protect pets, wildlife, and children from avoidable poisonings.
We lost our 2-year-old cat, sage, due to ingesting antifreeze.
