Would Natural Chemistry Flea shampoo be ok to use on a 7 week old kitten?

I used it on my other kitten when he was 8 or 9 weeks and nothing happnd. But being that it's younger than that, I am not sure. Have you ever used it?Would Natural Chemistry Flea shampoo be ok to use on a 7 week old kitten?
check on the bottle - most flea and tick products recommend that the animal be older than 12 weeksWould Natural Chemistry Flea shampoo be ok to use on a 7 week old kitten?
That's a bit young. Usually 3 months is the earliest. If the cat has a severe case of flees, call the vet and ask them to give you some ideas on how you can safely give the kitten a bath. Sometimes just washing the kitten in a tub of water while combing the fur with a comb made for flees helps a lot. Make sure and do not dip the comb back into the water with the kitten. Have another container to dip the comb in away from the cat with rubbing alcohol mixed, it will kill the fleas. Be very careful not to get the alcohol on the cat. Rinse the comb clean each time. I help out at animal shelters on occasion and have seen this done. When the kitten is too young and the fleas are severe.
