宜家惹出国际问题,卖的地图少了一个国家
Ikea's $29, multi-colored world map has one problem: It's missing an entire country. An eagle-eyed customer posted a photo of the store's BJORKSTA map to Reddit after noticing that it erased New Zealand from world geography. "Ikea's map game is not on point," the Reddit user wrote. The photo was taken at an Ikea in Washington, DC, the photographer said in a comment in his Reddit thread. Online, the product is sold in US and Australian stores. With the Swedish furniture giant expanding to New Zealand soon, many were left wondering if the store would alter the map for Kiwi customers. "IKEA is responsible for securing correct and compliant motifs on all our products," the statement said. "We can see that the process has failed regarding the product BJ?RKSTA world map. We will take necessary actions and the product is now being phased out from our stores. We regret this mistake and apologize." Elsewhere on Reddit, there's an entire thread dedicated to sharing photos of maps that have forgotten New Zealand. Now, this furniture giant has apologized for leaving New Zealand off a world map that was being sold at one of its Washington D.C. outlets. |
