Hazardous tissue holders

Here’s a “haz mat” story that is of interest not only to people in the cargo transport industry, but also to consumers in general. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration PHMSA has been notified that Bed Bath and Beyond sold a number of tissue holders in the United States, identified as the Dual Ridge Metal tissue holder, model number DR9M, that emit low levels of radiation. PHMSA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission believe that there is no immediate danger to the public; however, PHMSA is advising persons in possession of the contaminated tissue holders that they should arrange with Bed Bath and Beyond for their safe return. Any person in possession of this item should call Bed Bath and Beyond at 1-(800) 462-3966 to obtain information about the proper return procedures.
