But according to the suit, the knives were cheap knock-offs made in China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is funny.&amp;#160; The lawsuit highlights some crappy consumer reviews on HSN's website.&amp;#160; Por ejemplo:&amp;#160; \"That is terrible when a top chef lies to you on TV ... Emeril cannot be trusted with what he advertises.\"&amp;#160; Another review says the knives \"were rusting and were breaking in half.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suit -- which seeks $2 mil in damages for each trademark infringement -- was filed by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Wuppertal-Solingen-Remscheid, which owns the Solingen name."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
