While kapok does indeed share the same issues as cotton, one could even now argue that it's even more dangerous. I don't think I've ever heard of cotton having spontaneous combustion!

I do have a massive dislike to say the least of the "natural = safe" train of thought that a lot of companies use to target pet owners with less knowledge on many safety risks for our pets, but it isn't one strictly reserved to hamsters. I know I've seen endless dangerous products even for dogs(rawhide which is never natural and always harmful and unsafe flea repellents for a tiny portion of the examples) and those are one of the most common pets to have!
