Health officials said they've removed a dozen metal box tissue holders containing small amounts of radioactive material from four Bed, Bath & Beyond stores in New York. None of the boxes were sold to the public, said the company. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission notified state health officials Tuesday that a shipment of metal box tissue holders to four Bed, Bath & Beyond stores were found to contain low levels of Cobalt-60. The NRC said scrap metal containing Cobalt-60 could have inadvertently been incorporated into the product during smelting. The products arrived in a shipment from India on Dec. 27, and 220 were distributed to Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide.
