After the death of a worker at a bakery factory affiliated with the SPC group last month, a boycott of SPC products spread, and the sales of Pokemon Bread, which were in short supply, also decreased.
According to a large mart, sales of Pokemon Bread have decreased by 10% since the 15th of last month, when the accident occurred.
Pokemon Bread is a product released in February by SPC Samlip, a subsidiary of the SPC group, and has been running out of stock every day due to the popularity of collecting character stickers 'Tibutiboo Seal'.
As sales of SPC Group products as well as Pokémon Bread decreased overall, sales of SPC Group products sold at convenience stores also decreased by about 3.6% after the accident.
