IKEA China said it is increasing security inspection of its showrooms, sales areas, parking lots and blind spot areas in stores. Stores will also strengthen cleaning and disinfection protocols in the showrooms, sales areas and customer service areas, in addition to its regular maintenance and cleaning procedures.
"We are strongly against and condemn this kind of behavior and have already reported to the police in the city of the suspected store," IKEA China told FOX Business in an emailed statement Tuesday. "IKEA is committed to continuously providing the consumers with home inspiration and creating a safe, comfortable and healthy shopping experience and environment."
The company is calling on customers to "maintain a good shopping environment" while perusing the aisles, and employees are being reminded to report suspicious personnel to security.
