Hartz flea medicine question?

I've used the Hartz flea medicine once on my dog and haven't actually noticed any unusual problems (minus the fact that he has fleas, so obviously it doesn't work). But I decided to do some more research into it and found that it's actually dangerous for the dog. What are some symptoms that I might should be looking for to make sure my dog is ok?! I took him to the vet about 2 weeks ago for a routine visit and no one said anything looked out of the ordinary. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing for my dog.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    Symptoms:

    -wobbling when walking

    -seizures

    Those are the main ones I'm aware of. I can't believe that stuff hasn't been pulled off the market!

    Maybe if you use Google you could find out more info on this product, but just don't use it anymore and you won't have to worry about a problem occurring. You can get flea drops from your Vet that are safe such as Frontline Plus. I wouldn't use any Hartz product if you paid me to.
