Pretty much the only place you see Pozidriv in the US is Ikea furniture. Almost nobody realizes that it's different from Phillips, which results in some mildly frustrating experiences putting together furniture with the wrong screwdriver. I bought some Pozidriv bits just for Ikea stuff and they work much better.
Another similar situation is bicycle derailleurs. Many older Shimano derailleurs have JIS adjustment screws. They are just similar enough to Phillips that it seems like it's working, but it's very easy to damage the screw head. I have heard that they moved to Torx recently.
