Tokyo A new device aimed at tackling sexual harassment on crowded trains and public transport has sold out just half an hour after it went on sale in Japan.
The"anti-groping" stamps, manufactured by stamp-maker Shachihata Inc., allow victims of harassment to mark their assailants with invisible ink, and also provide a deterrent to would-be attackers. A limited run of 500 stamps, which retailed at 2,500 yen , sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale on Tuesday, a company spokesman told CNN. The stamp marks an assailant with a palm shape in invisible ink.
