Supermarket Chain in New Zealand Reportedly Takes Knives Off Shelves After Stabbing Attack
Following Friday’s terrorist attack in New Zealand’s city of Auckland, supermarket giant Countdown has temporarily removed all knives and scissors from sale, the New Zealand Herald reported.
“We want all of our team to feel safe when they come to work, especially considering the events of yesterday,” Countdown’s General Manager of Corporate Affairs Kiri Hannifin told the newspaper.
The newspaper further reported that Countdown is even considering stopping the sale of all knives and scissors permanently. Foodstuffs NZ also retrieved their knives from sale.
