Cat got Neutrogena T-Gel (coal tar) in her fur

My cat has incredibly long fur and managed to get some spilled shampoo in her fur. I was able to saturate her tail fully in the sink and then dry it, but it smelled like coal tar so I saturated and dried her tail again.

It wasn’t enough to make a lather or anything, but I’m so worried she will get sick. I read online that coal tar has phenol which is poisonous, so I’m worried that as long as it smells she’s in danger of poisoning herself.

Edit: i can’t see anything on the bottle or Neutrogena’s website to keep this product away from pets, am I just being paranoid?

Edit 2: Ingredients list from the website-

Medicinal Ingredient: Coal Tar (0.5%)

Non-medicinal Ingredients Citric Acid, Cocamide MEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, DMDM Hydantoin, Laureth-4, Parfum, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Water (eau).
