Coles will no longer sell kitchen knives after an employee was allegedly stabbed by a 13-year-old boy in Queensland on Monday.

Claudia Campomayor Watt, 63, remains in a critical but stable condition after she was attacked while working at Coles in the Yamanto Central Shopping Centre in Ipswich, west of Brisbane.

In a statement, a Coles spokesperson said the company would withdraw kitchen knives from stores nationwide.

"Coles complies with all legislation regarding the sale of kitchen knives, and this withdrawal is being taken out of an abundance of caution as we conduct a review," the statement said.
