recall
Cheap joke item could lead to gruesome disfigurement thanks to terrifying packaging snafu.
Afternoon Tea TEAROOM is recalling the affected batch of fried items after customers complained of numbness in their tongues.
Virus Protector is a Japanese product composed of a vinyl pouch that you hang by a strap around your neck. When unsealed it claims to “remove bacteria, virus and odors from the surrounding area creating a decontamination space.”
On February 18 the Consumer Affairs Agency of Japan issued a warning for people to stop using Virus Protector brand products immediately.
The reason? Apparently, Virus Protector had considered humans in the same family of germs and bad smells and set out to eliminate us as well.
