Williams-Sonoma Pulls Pressure Cookers Off Shelves in Cranston

The cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling pressure cookers at retail locations, including the Garden City store in Cranston.

If you're in the market for a new pressure cooker to whip up some stew or pulled pork, don't head to the Cranston Williams-Sonoma for the time being.

Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with more than 250 stores in the United States, has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.

It was first reported that Williams-Sonoma pulled pressure cookers from shelves in stores in Massachusetts, but a call to the Cranston location in Garden City Center shows the company has issued a larger company directive.

Cranston store manager Kyle, who asked his last name not to be used, said pressure cookers were taken off the shelves via a company directive because it didn't seem appropriate to sell them in the wake of the marathon bombings....

DMN YOU, don't be so agreeable! That's what *CANADIANS* do!!!

I hate beaver trappers that wear jaunty little hats and sing french songs when canoeing to their traps.

I spent a summer in Winnipeg once...beavers should be shaved and then released back into the wild

That thing scares me!

Where is the steam pressure/Temp gage?
That tiny, digital, made in China LED in the center panel?

No way would I use that!
