It has been announced by Capcom of Japan that the special Star Pendant from Ryuusei no Rockman, that was packaged with the game back in December in Japan, is now being recalled by the manufacturer. This neat little pendant, which belongs to the main character Subaru, was a free gift with all game purchases, and could actually be worn as a necklace. However, Capcom has declared that it may cause injury to minors, due to its "pointy" structure.
As such, with over 300,000 of these pendants made, any unsold are now being sent back. Apparantly Capcom is worried that child could fall while wearing the pendant, and have the pointed end pierce his or hers chest.

Preemptive move against all those possible litigations huh? It's a little sad that our society is so terrified by this, parents need to be more responsible in your parenting.

| It depends on how pointy that pendant is, and what it is made of. But if it has significant injury risks, then I would understand the case. |
