Japanese retail giant, Muji is recalling approximately 600,000 units of its popular room spray products amid safety concerns. The recall aims to rectify potential issues that could result in harm to users or the misuse of the product. While no specific reason for the recall has been disclosed, the company is urging customers who have purchased the said product to return them to any Muji store immediately. The dates and locations of the product distribution are still under investigation.

In Japan, product safety recalls are taken very seriously. Consumer safety is highly valued, and companies act quickly and responsibly to ensure any potential risks are mitigated. Retailers like Muji are expected to be proactive and transparent about such issues, alerting customers at the earliest and taking necessary measures to rectify them.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU also exhibit high standards of consumer protection. Product recalls are common, with companies often held liable for any damage caused by their products. They are either mandated by government regulatory bodies or initiated voluntarily by companies upon discovering a potential issue.
