At PETLUX we are at the forefront when it comes to safety and the well-being of your pets. That is why we are deeply shocked and outraged by the recent tragic news that went viral: a cat died from the use of a automatic litter box which was sold through a major international marketplace. This incident once again highlights the danger of cheap, untested products sold by unknown sellers.
This is about a automatic litter box which was sold on Amazon, from an unclear brand and an anonymous seller. Reports indicate that this litter box had serious technical defects and did not have the necessary safety features had at his disposal. This tragic incident resulted in the death of a beloved pet. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the owners and their families. This incident also raises urgent questions about the safety and reliability of pet products which are marketed without any guarantee of quality.
Why Unsafe Automatic Litter Boxes Are Dangerous
We increasingly see that platforms such as Amazon and bol.com are flooded with products from often anonymous sellers. These providers set automatic litter boxes and others pet products for sale at prices that seem too good to be true. For many consumers this seems like an attractive option: an automatic litter box for a fraction of the price compared to those of well-known brands. What many people don't know, however, is that these products often do not meet the strict European safety requirements and that they may exhibit serious defects.
The invisible dangers of these devices only become apparent when it is too late. As in the recent incident, technical failures can have serious consequences. Many of these cheap machines lack essential safety sensors, which could put your cat's life in danger. Additionally, many sellers of these products do not leave contact information, meaning consumers have nowhere to turn for support or compensation for their issues.
