I heard this on Fox news today but didn't have time to look into it. I now have had some research time and see no posts on this so I'll start one.
The article I found started with: Bed Bath and Beyond recalls tissue holder on radiation worry. Retailer has pulled product that emits low levels of
radiation.
I did not want to use the title of the article because this isn't a Bed Bath & Beyond issue as they don't make the product. I think we are starting
to see the beginning of the radioactive problems we are about to face. TPTB are stating it's nothing to worry about, they won't identify the levels
or the radioactive material. This combined with the cars coming from Japan that show radioactive levels is not good.

U.S. home merchandise retailer Bed Bath and Beyond Inc is recalling tissue holders because one of its materials emits low levels of radiation, the
company said on Friday.
According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRD), there is no health threat from the item, the Dual Ridge Metal boutique tissue holder, the
company said in a statement.
ETA: It also doesn't state where the tissue holders are manufactured but I'm guessing China. I just don't know.
