I have been using this product for years as it is effective and safe for
pets. However, having recommended it to a close friend and their having
applied it last evening, I was asked whether or not it harmed frogs as she
had seen some shortly after applying it.

Does anyone here know the answer, please? I've had a Google on it, but
there's nothing at all that refers to frogs, so I'm hoping someone on urg
has (hopefully positive) experience of it. Thanks for your time.

Yes, if frogs were to get the liquid on their skins it would not be good, it
is not likely they would eat a dead slug but I suppose they could take one
just after it had come in contact with the slug clear while it was still
moving, that also would not be good.
Having said that, I do use Slug clear on the clematis crowns in spring, but
by now have switched to Ferramol pellets (Iron based) which are harmless to
birds mammals (and frogs!)
