Is my Frontline legit?

There are many counterfeited products on line and it's very difficult to distinguish a counterfeit from a EPA-registred product because very often they look almost the same.

But there is a way to determine whether you purchased a legitimate product. Here are some guidelines that will help you to do so:

- In the legitimate product the lot number on the retail carton matches the lot number on the applicator package and on the individual applicators.

- The legitimate product has a instruction leaflet with the following info: directions for use, first-aid statements (with emergency U.S. phone numbers), precautionary statements , storage and disposal statements,

- The applicator package that contains the pesticide is child-resistant and the directions for opening the applicator package include an illustration looking like the applicator package. The written directions state: "To remove applicator, use scissors or lift and remove plastic tab to expose foil, then pull down."

- Between the individual applicator packages there is a notch and is usually not present in the counterfeits. The text on the legitimate package is in English.

- Every individual applicator has a label on it with the registrant's name "Merial", the product name, the EPA registration number, the net contents in fluid ounces (fl. oz.) (not in metric measure, i.e., ml), percentage (%) of active ingredient(s) (fipronil for Frontline Top Spot products; and fipronil and (S)-methoprene for Frontline Plus products) and the statements "CAUTION,", "Keep out of reach of children," and "See full label for additional directions." The text is again only in English.

- In Frontline for dogs the applicator label includes the size of the dog (in pounds) on which the product is to be used.
