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.

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.
Yes...now pressure cookers are WMDS, but all the precursors and evidence of biological,chemical and nuclear weapons found before and during the Iraq War?......no WMDS.....LOL.
I used one to cook dinner for Miss Slippy and myself last night. And it’s unregistered to boot.
Reaffirmation of progressive thought stuck on stupid
I suspect there will be some idiots that will place empty pressure cookers in public places to freak people out and get their jollies.
BAN ALL WEARING OF BALL CAPS BACKWARDS
*******
Great suggestion!!! You should get the Bloomberg Award for that one. LOL
I had a next door neighbor years past, killed her hubby with a fork.... Does that mean we need fork control? In the Obamanation...Yes.
'most' ? Be patient, the best is yet to come.
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.
Good catch Bob. 31 replies before anyone recognized this was made up.
Ha ha ha ha. Wow, don’t we all look silly? Leave it to Laz to catch us with our pants down.
Ha ha haaaa!
(Wait ... What?)
I guess the Food Network is a terrorist cable channel..
Good grief....this is the epitome of lib craziness.
It's a temporary thing out of abject stupidity. There - fixed it.
Then I wish upon them everythng that was mentioned and more.
May they enjoy the fruits of their insanity to the logical conclusion.
*Thunderclap, Evil laughter*
I’ll bet the meeting where that was decided was freaking
hilarious.
WHAT ABOUT BALL BEARINGS1!?!?
“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.”
I told you that last week and I was not kidding. Get it before the background checks begin!
