Injustice was made in the form of "Chiba Petrochemical Factory" located in Ichihara-shi, Chiba Prefecture, citing the numerical value obtained in the past examination, and injustice has started in the 1990's.

Although 50 suppliers have shipped, it is said that there is no problem with product quality and safety.

The company grasped the current corruption as of December last year, but on the 23rd, when more than two months have passed, it made public to the outside world.
