We have been notified by regulatory agencies that a product we have carried since July, 2011, in approximately 200 of our 1000 stores in the U.S. and Canada, as well as on our website, the Dual Ridge Metal boutique tissue holder (see photo below), contains a material which emits low levels of radiation. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), although any unnecessary radiation exposure is not desirable, there is no threat to anyone’s health from these tissue holders. The NRC has also informed us that the material is believed to be in the tissue holder itself and cannot be inhaled, nor can it contaminate other objects (such as tissues).
Out of an abundance of caution, we have pulled the product off of our sales floor and removed it from our website.
Customers who have purchased this product should bring it to their nearest Bed Bath & Beyond store for a full refund. If any customer has a question, they are encouraged to call 1-800-462-3966.
