Needle found in negligee sold at store

Thursday, 15 May 2008

ITAMI, Hyogo -- A needle was found in a negligee item sold at a store here, police said.

The Itami branch of Nishimatsuya Chain, a children's product shop based in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, reported to police on Thursday that a needle may have been deliberately stuck into a negligee sold at the store.

A female customer in her 20s from Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, found the needle -- about 2 centimeters long -- in a pocket on the right side of the negligee when she wore it on April 21. She didn't sustain any injuries, police said.

According to Nishimatsuya Chain, the mother of the woman bought the negligee in mid-March. After her daughter found the needle in late April, the mother reported it to the store. The negligee was made in China.
