Williams-Sonoma Pulls Pressure Cookers Off Shelves in Massachusetts
Dedham Patch ^ | April 22, 2013 | By Robert Rosen

Posted on 04/23/2013 7:27:33 AM PDT by Lazamataz

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.

Why not ban all boats too? They are known hiding places for terrorists.

NO, BAN ALL STORING OF SMALL BOATS IN BACK YARDS IN THE OPEN WHERE HELICOPTERS CAN SEE THEM AND STOP THE SALES OF ALL BOAT TARPS. AND, WHILE WE'RE AT IT, BAN ALL WEARING OF BALL CAPS BACKWARDS.

Close the infamous garage sale loophole.

Universal background checks for purchases of pressure cookers!

My recommendation would be no more boats stored in backyards and ban all shrink wrapping for anything. LOL

Honestly, at this point there is no dictate that would suprise me anymore, no matter how insane it was. We have gone well byond inane PC stupidity and into the Twilight Zone.

I suspect there will be some idiots that will place empty pressure cookers in public places to freak people out and get their jollies.

Does this cookware giant realize how dippy their action is?

No. They are liberals. It makes perfect sense to them.

It’s insanity that we now consider a pressure cooker as an item that has the ability to offend someone.
*********
Who would ever think a common household appliance would ever make someone feel uncomfortable? Insanity is the new normal.

I thought this was satire...it's NOT! They're really *temporarily* removing pressure cookers from their shelves...out of *respect* for the victims.

Good grief....this is the epitome of lib craziness.

“We’re going to suspend your rights to protest, bear arms, privacy, and trial by jury.”
“Why?”
“To protect you from terrorists.”
“Why do we need to be protected from terrorists?”
“They hate you for your freedom.”
