WHAT HAPPENED

A recall has been issued for the “Happiness Star Sand Bottle” (幸せの星砂ボトル) sold by First Arrow (ファースト・アロー). The Japan Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) announced the recall after asbestos (石綿) was detected in the product, posing a serious health risk to consumers. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that can cause lung disease and cancer when inhaled.

This recall is critical because asbestos exposure has no safe level, and the product is likely handled closely, especially by children or as a decorative item. The presence of asbestos in a consumer good violates Japanese safety regulations and requires immediate action to prevent harm. The recall is managed under CAA number 00000035179, with support from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

If you own this product, take the following steps immediately:

• Stop using the product and keep it away from children.
• Contact First Arrow (株式会社ファーストアロー) for instructions on returning the item and receiving a refund.
• Do not dispose of the product in regular trash; follow the company’s guidance for safe handling.
• Monitor the CAA recall website or the company’s page for updates and further instructions.
