Online retailer Asos has withdrawn 641 belts from sale after US border patrol officials discovered radioactive material in the belts' metal studs. According to an internal report obtained by The Guardian, only 49 of the belts were sold before the discovery, and Asos says all purchasers have been contacted informing them of the danger. The belts tested positive for Cobalt-60, a radioactive isotope, and could cause injury if worn for more than 500 hours. The unsold belts are being held in a radioactive storage facility.
