WHAT HAPPENED
On April 19, 2018, the Consumer Affairs Agency of Japan published a recall notice (ID: 00000019769) concerning kerosene sold under the ESSO brand at the Oil Road Hiromi Service Station. The notice indicates that a quality abnormality was discovered in a portion of the kerosene supplied between April 2 and April 18, 2018. The specific nature of the quality defect has not been detailed in the public notice, but it prompted an immediate recall action to protect consumers.
This recall matters because kerosene is widely used in Japan for heating and cooking, and any quality abnormality—such as contamination or improper composition—could lead to appliance malfunction, fire hazards, or health risks. The Consumer Affairs Agency, as the regulatory body, requires prompt notification and corrective measures to prevent harm. The affected product was sold exclusively at one retail location, limiting the scope but still necessitating public awareness.
If you purchased kerosene from the ESSO Oil Road Hiromi Service Station between April 2 and April 18, 2018, please take the following steps:
- Check your purchase records or receipts to confirm if the kerosene was obtained during the specified period.
- Stop using the product immediately and do not pour it into any appliance or container.
- Contact the service station or the recall hotline provided in the notice for instructions on return, replacement, or disposal.
- Follow any additional guidance from the Consumer Affairs Agency or local authorities to ensure safe handling.
