Subject to the recall are ashtrays that the company distributed from May at 2,700 convenience stores of Lawson in Hokkaido and other 20 prefectures in the Tohoku, Chugoku, Shikoku and Kyushu regions.
Although the attached instructions warn users to extinguish cigarettes completely before disposal, the company decided to make the voluntary recall after two reports of the ashtrays losing shape and warping due to heat from cigarettes, it said. (pi) |
