Got to love China...

Okay, this is a cut and paste from the Shanghai IKEA webpage:

----

Friendly Remind!
To secure the safety of residents and the domestic/oversea visitors during Expo session, Shanghai Public Security Bureau and the Municipal Commerce Committee jointly made the decision on special safety management of cutlery. According to the safety management, hazardous tools of knives must be purchased on registration of customer’s real names. “Knives for kitchen use must be sold at specific shops and be purchased on registration of customers’ ID card.”

On sales of knives, customers’ ID card shall be checked and the related personal information, types of the purchased items and quantity be registered. Sale report be submitted to on a weekly basis, and recorded at local Public Security Bureau.

More detail please consult SALES co-worker. Thank you for your cooperate!
