Abstract
An RFID tag-containing apparatus which is capable of alerting a user to leakage of information stored in RFID tags without tailoring the RFID tags. At least one container section is capable of containing at least one article. A receiver section receives information transmitted from an RFID tag attached to the article contained in the container section. When the receiver section receives the information from the RFID tag, a notification signal is output for notifying a user that the information stored in the RFID tag has been be read.
