A viral petition urging some of the country's biggest retail chains to stop selling MyPillow products has gained more than 90,000 signatures.
The change.org petition demanding businesses such as Walmart and Amazon remove items from Mike Lindell's company from sale was created in mid-January after he was photographed holding a note before a meeting with then-president Donald Trump which appeared to show him advocating for martial law being imposed.
The meeting took place in the wake of the deadly attack at the Capitol on January 6 in which far-right extremists and Trump supporters attempted to overthrow the government in support of the baseless claim of widespread election fraud, which Lindell repeatedly backed.
"Today 01/15/2021 the MyPillow founder met with President Trump and suggested instituting martial law after the twice impeached president staged a coup," the petition states. "Time to tell our major retailers to stop selling his products. We will not support funding insurrectionists!"
The petition also urges Bed Bath & Beyond and Costco to cut ties with MyPillow due to Lindell's views. However, since the petition was launched Bed Bath & Beyond announced they have removed MyPillow products from its stores due to lack of demand rather, than the behavior of its CEO.
"We have been rationalizing our assortment to discontinue a number of underperforming items and brands. This includes the MyPillow product line. Our decisions are data-driven, customer-inspired and are delivering substantial growth in our key destination categories," a spokesperson previously said.
A small number of MyPillow products are currently available on Bed Bath & Beyond's website in a clearance sale.
Costco also said it plans to continue selling MyPillow products because it has a "contractual commitments to MyPillow that we intend to honor, as we seek to do with all of our suppliers."

RE: I just had to buy another one. My wife stole mine.
How did you like the product so far? Is it value for money compare to other kinds of pillows?
Who wants their face laying on a pillow made in Covid-China....

Did you or your children/grand children ever pop bubble wrap inside your home? You’re releasing Chinese air into your house if you do.
Just something to think about.
We have Mike’s pillows and just got two sets of his sheets. Nice. Plan to order more pillows for family gifts.
I have, over time, ordered pillows, sheets, towels, and a robe. The sheets are amazing. The robe is heavy, good for cold weather and very nice. Towels are very good and absorb better. The pillows are very good.
Well, I stopped shopping at Dollar General. I gave up Amazon years ago. I can learn to do without Walmart.
I love MyPillow and didn’t expect it since I always believed down was the only way. I need to get a travel one.
Demonrats are evil.
Democrats love choice. When they’re the ones making it for everyone else.
Stopped shopping at Kohl’s because they immediately stopped selling the my pillow merchandise.
What bothers me most is all the censorship. I was watching Mike Lindell’s podcast on the election being stolen. I was watching it on Vimeo in real time. Half way through, it was taken off the air.
Mike was presenting experts with credible credentials. But he was silenced. I was denied the chance to be educated on Mike’s information, and make up my own mind.
I’ll never understand the pathetic pettiness of leftists...
I’ve got two MyPillows, enough for me, or I’d buy more. Is there a petition telling Walmart we want MyPillow? Link, please, if there is one.
Nazis dreamed of being as successful in promoting hatred and prejudice like the Democrats are pushing
Time to order new pillows
I keep forgetting Newsweek still exists until someone eventually posts An article they wrote here. Newsweek was always one of those magazines you would find a three month old issue of them sitting in the doctors office waiting room, I never knew anyone who actually subscribed purchased or read that in real life.
Get the right fill? How do I do that?
You do that by buying something from him. ;)
90000? That’s tiny. Barely 20% of the number of people killed with and or by Covid.
At least 1.5 million and as many as 1.8 million have signed a petition to remove Gavin Newsom from the governorship of California. You won’t see that reported on MSN or in Newsweak.
