Boxes Sold At Some Bed Bath And Beyond Stores, Including Chula Vista, Oceanside, San Diego
POSTED: 1:24 pm PST January 15, 2012
- Shiny
metallic-blue tissue box containers recently sold in California may owe
their color to radioactive cobalt 60 and purchasers were urged by state
safety experts this weekend to return them.
A freeway-side radioactivity detector operated by the California
Highway Patrol went off when a truck containing a shipment of "Dual
Ridge Metal Boutique tissue boxes" went through a weigh station,
according to a statement issued by the California Department of Public
Health.
The state said the boxes were sold at some, but not all, Bed Bath and Beyond stores.The
boxes' low level of radioactivity "poses no immediate health threat,"
and they can safely be carried back to stores for a refund. The metal
boxes are marked with model number DR9M.According to the state, the chain sold the boxes at stores in Chula Vista, Oceanside and San Diego.In
Los Angeles County, the boxes were sold at Canoga Park, Los Angeles,
Pasadena, Studio City, Valencia and West Covina, and in Orange County
they were sold in Huntington Beach and Irvine. In the Inland Empire, the
boxes were sold at Fontana and Ontario Mills.They were also sold in Oxnard and four stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, the store company told the state.
