Floor cushions sold by CAINZ under 18 trade names (for example, Floor Cushion YE/BE 40×40 and 17 other similar 40×40 or round products) are affected; check the trade name on the product label to recognise it. They were recalled because some products from certain production lots may contain a sewing needle accidentally mixed in during manufacturing. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact CAINZ by phone at 0120-992-534 or via the online reception form (https://www.recall.caa.go.jp/result/detail.php?rcl=00000035455&screenkbn=03) for a refund.
