The Northwest Naturals company issued this recall on December 24 in hopes to reach people who may have purchased this product so they can return it for their refund and for the safety of their cats.

The holidays, being what they are, sometimes news doesn't come through as needed and with most store being closed on Christmas Day it would have proved a challenge. Now that you can, you can return this product to the store from which you purchased it from for your refund.

It'd be a good idea in the safety of our furry friends.
