機械メーカー「的場電機製作所」（埼玉県川越市）は１０日、同社が過去に製造した家庭用電気マッサージ器を使った愛知県内の６０歳代の女性が今年３月１３日、ローラーに服を巻き込まれて窒息死する事故があったと発表した。
同じ製品を巡ってはほかに３件の死亡事故が発生しており、同社は２００８年にも注意を呼びかけている。
製品は１９８３～９０年に約４２万台製造された「アルビシェイプアップローラー」。突起付きローラーに足などを当ててもみほぐすものだが、死亡した女性は布製のローラーカバーを外して首の辺りにあてて使っていた際に服がローラーに巻き込まれて首が締め付けられたとみられるという。３月１５日に愛知県警から同社に連絡があり、今月７日、「この製品による事故死でほぼ間違いない」との回答があったという。

The machine manufacturer "Matoba electrical machinery factory" (Kawagoe-shi, Saitama) announced on the 13th March this year that in Aichi there was an accident on the 10th which a woman in her 60's using the home electricity massaging tool manufactured by the company had her dress tangled with the roller and she died from suffocation.
The same product was involved in three death accidents that had occurred, and the company also had appealed for cautions in 2008.
The product was the "Albi workout roller", about 420,000 sets were manufactured between 1983 - 1990. Although the leg etc. could be applied to a protruded roller to be massaged and rubbed, the woman who died had removed the roller cover which was made of cloth; and when she used it towards the region near the head, her dress got entangled with the roller and her head became bound tightly. The company had contacted the Aichi Prefecture Police on March 15, and it was said that there was a reply on the 7th this month saying that "no doubt the death incident is related to the product".
Obviously, to use the the machine with its safety cover removed is a dangerous act.
