Japanese convenience store chain FamilyMart has publicly apologised following the circulation of videos online showing rats running wild in one of its branches.
One video appeared on social media, showing around a half dozen rodents scampering over and around a refrigerated fresh food cabinet containing drinks, sushi and rice boxes. The clip, which was viewed more than five million times in two days, can be viewed here.
A second clip also emerged from inside the store, showing rodents further exploring store shelves and running over sealed packages of baked goods, unconcerned by the presence of shoppers. That video can be viewed here.

FamilyMart, which has ‘konbini’ stores all across Japan and Asia, released a statement confirming that they had closed a store in the Shibuya district of Tokyo on 5 August to investigate and dispose of any ‘tainted’ products, as well as seeking guidance from a local health centre. They apologised for the ‘unsanitary’ footage making any customers feel ‘uneasy’.
This isn’t the first incident for a FamilyMart store. In May 2017, a FamilyMart in Shanghai Subway Station was closed to deal with a rat infestation.

Streets in Paris close to the Notre-Dame Cathedral were closed recently, as specialists moved in to perform decontamination cleaning work.
Fences were erected and a bridge installed in the surrounding area, after high levels of lead were detected in the local area following the devastating April blaze.
Repair work was suspended in July following the discovery of
elevated lead levels. Health officials said a child from a nearby school was at risk of lead poisoning after hundreds of children were tested. The collapsed roof and spire may have spread the lead, although officials are investigating other possible reasons for the localised increase.
France’s culture ministry confirmed two decontamination measures were taken. The first involved a special gel applied to public benches, street lights and fixtures to absorb the lead for several days, before its removal. The second involved high-pressure water jets with chemical agents being deployed to clean up the area.
Notre-Dame attracts around 12 million visitors a year, and the French Parliament recently passed a law requiring the Cathedral be rebuilt exactly as it appeared before the fire.
