Process for flagging bladed products

For existing ASINs on Amazon.co.uk, please check to see if the ASINs are already flagged. Check there is an "over-18 knife" warning on the detail page. To go to the Amazon Detail page for a particular listing, click on the ASIN or listing ID in your Manage Inventory page. Once you get to the page, check for the "over-18 knife" flag (see below for example of flag). If the ASIN is already flagged, there is no need to follow the process below.
