The Illinois Emergency Management Agency says there is “no immediate threat” posed by decorative tissue box holders sold by Bed, Bath and Beyond that are contaminated with low-levels of radioactive material.

The contaminated items are in the Dual Ridge Boutique product line, model number DR9M. Store officials removed and secured the entire product line from store shelves, the release said.

Customers who believe they may have purchased a tissue box holder from the Dual Ridge Boutique product line should contact Bed, Bath and Beyond at 1-800-462-3966.
