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 its Massachusetts stores.
Williams-Sonoma, the specialty retailer of home furnishings and gourmet cookware with more than 250 stores in the United States (including at the Northshore Mall), has pulled pressure cookers from its Massachusetts stores' shelves following the Boston Marathon bombing.
"It's a temporary thing out of respect," one store manager at a Boston-area Williams-Sonoma told Patch. He referred Patch to corporate for further questions.
