SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260118-DC301-2147324429. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: OKOCAT soft step cat litter Item# L0928 kocat 15.8 lbs. P (OKOCAT SUPER SOFT, SOFT STEP CAT LOTTER (not the pellets they sell natural wood clumping litter inise the soft step kind because cat is sensitive about feet.).
