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Watford based clothing firm T.K. Maxx has withdrawn a line of jackets from sale after they were found to contain knives.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.

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."
