So, this, we'd had to take off our shelves immediately.
Magazine furoku are special free stuff on magazines -quite frankly the SOLE jem and sales point of the magazine. Publishers spend hours and tons of money getting contracts with makers for special furoku.
Each month there's an average 5 magazines that have furoku we in the U.S. can't sell due to some "hazardous material" restrictions. Some make sense, others honestly don't. Things you put in your mouth, I get. So no-nos to chocolate molds, I get. You eat what comes out of it. That's what you get for following this Japanese phenomenon of girls being forced to give our chocolate- nothing but a concept created by chocolate companies.
But these are things like stickers that get vetoed. And 100% make-ups stuff are 100% ban. Really, Japanese skin really different than American skin?
Each time these furoku get the "NO SALE IN US!" stamp, we take the furoku out and sell the magazine at discount.
Going back to subject at hand. We'd had to take these issues immediately off our shelves. I groaned thinking it be the usual "bah, U.S. being nit-picky and anal...", but hearing Japan recalled these was an amusing eye-opener. Plus "recall" means these were completely banned from sales, completely . Ouch.
China being alot more loose on being careful with materials has been an issue for years, so Japan catching this one's no surprise.
Although the fact that it's 2014 2015 magazines that are being recalled makes it seem there were actual incidents that happened -most "U.S. NO SALE" restrictions are made before anything happens.
It's all the making you'all.
