Watford firm gave away free knives with jackets
3:31pm Friday 3rd October 2008
Watford based clothing firm T.K. Maxx has withdrawn a line of jackets from sale after they were found to contain knives.
The Swiss Strellson jackets, on sale for around £60 contained knives attatched to a metal chain.
“TK Maxx supports and enforces all laws with regard to the sale of knives.
The 180 branch national firm, which has its headquarters in Clarendon Road, has taken the jackets off shelves.
A TK Maxx representative said: “TK Maxx supports and enforces all laws with regard to the sale of knives. We became aware that a branded coat on sale included a pocket penknife as a promotional gift."
"We removed the items swiftly from the supply chain. All store teams have been alerted to this and as a matter of urgent priority have removed all related items from shops."
