Japanese lucky charms turn out to be radioactive: police

A Japanese duo who marketed charms said to glow for more than a decade ran out of luck themselves as it came to light that the products were radioactive, police said Thursday.

The pair were based in Hiroshima, site of the world's first atomic attack, where they sold cellphone straps containing tritium, a radioactive substance that can be used in nuclear weapons.

Ichiro Shimozaki, a 40-year-old unemployed man, and Kyoko Fujii, a 45-year-old company worker, sold 5,500 straps since 2004, earning 170,000 yen (1,620 dollars), a police spokesman said.

They imported the tritium from Britain and sold the straps through a website, saying the charms would "shine for more than 10 years."

The straps contained 27 times more tritium than is allowed under the law, police said. Japan also requires people to inform the science ministry before commercialising any products with a radiation hazard.

However, the level of tritium is still believed to be unlikely to harm people wearing the straps, the science ministry said.

This is so dangerous.

人情味不是偏私而是博爱,

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌,

而是内心的尊重。
