International safety notice

Our manufacturer's investigation revealed that some of the products in the target lot had a stem located at the tip of the plastic shaft. We have confirmed that the fixing force of the contactless tip (hereinafter referred to as the tip) is insufficient. We cannot deny the possibility that the chip may fall off, so we have decided to carry out a voluntary recall.
