Following the Boston Marathon bombing last Monday in which pressure cookers were used for the explosion, the cookware giant has decided to temporarily stop selling the items in their Massachusetts stores.
Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with over 250 stores in the United States, has pulled pressure cookers from their shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.
"It's a temporary thing out of respect," said Kent, who is the Store Manager of the Williams-Sonoma at the Natick Mall. He referred Patch to corporate for further questions. Williams-Sonoma also has a local branch at Legacy Place in Dedham.
Pressure cookers will still be available on the Williams-Sonoma website.

I will give up my skillet when they pry my cold, dead hands from around it!
What happened to America? Are we a bunch of panicky little wet nosed girls?
Yes
That’s fine with me, I could never get them to work right anyway. Either the food would come out complete mush, or undercooked.
ROTFLOL!! This is so stupid of Williams Sonoma.....do not even know where to begin.
Probably.
This is goofy.
This is liberalism.
This country has become a country of victim ghouls and PC appeasers that have taken common sense to a sublimely warped sense of idiocy. Victims are idolized, memorialized, commemorated, and yes, compensated while the groups with agendas against this or that hated-conservative freedom try to tie the disaster with that ooga-booga freedom, avidly perpetuated by what our Mainstream Media calls "journalism."
All the while, we are told we can't condemn ISLAM, or Terrorists, or middle Easterners, or whomever - only old white redneck men that must certainly be racist right wing subversives.
That would only remove gourmet pressure cookers from circulation. Low rent terrorists would still go to Target for their supply.
They’re all speeding past us on the crazy train, aren’t they?
Seriously, I think I better get the thing ordered.
I came here to say the same thing! STOOPID!!!!!
Excellent satire.
I’m waiting for those evil bastard Muslims that will hijack a truckload of new iPhones and stuff them with C-4 so they go boom when you turn them on....
Just fix em all up and park it in a metro area with the back door unlocked.

High-end terrorists... nothing but the best in the pursuit of jihad!
If more discriminating and high-end terrorists want really the best quality, imported / French pressure-cookers that cost $700, then Williams Sonoma is the place they go.
Idiot mass-holes.
They cultivate the terrorist type of culture that motivated the bombings; then they pull pressure cookers off the shelf?
Its as if they almost deserved to be attacked as they were.
Mr. Mercat has a patent on a pressure cooker. I’m waiting for the storm troopers to show up.
Par for the course in Massachusetts, where perception trumps reality.
That’s being “Boston Strong.”
