MyPillow CEO says Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl’s stopped selling his products, prompting calls for boycotts

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said retailers including Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s are removing his company’s products from their stores, prompting calls for boycotts on social media.

“I just got off the phone with Bed Bath & Beyond,” Lindell said during an interview Monday evening with the Right Side Broadcasting Network’s Brian Glenn. “They’re dropping MyPillow.”

“Just got off the phone — not five minutes ago. Kohl’s, all these different places. … These guys don’t understand,” he went on. “They’re scared. Like a Bed Bath & Beyond, they’re scared. They were good partners. In fact, I told them, ‘You guys come back anytime you want.'”

Lindell has repeated false claims that President Donald Trump did not lose the election against president-elect Joe Biden.

Representatives from Kohl’s and Bed Bath & Beyond did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

A search by CNBC on both of the retailer’s websites Tuesday morning still showed available MyPillow merchandise for sale. MyPillow is also still sold at J.C. Penney, Amazon, Belk and a number of other major retailers.

Trump’s supporters on social media platforms are now calling for boycotts of the retailers, while other consumers are urging people to not purchase MyPillow products.

Lindell, a long-time Trump supporter, has come under fire for spreading of conspiracy theories. Last year, as one example, he promoted a fake cure for the Covid-19 virus. More recently he’s said there was widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election.

According to report by the New York Times, officials at Dominion Voting Systems have now sent Lindell a legal letter that warns of pending litigation over his baseless claims of widespread fraud involving their machines. Lindell was not immediately available to respond to CNBC’s request for comment about the letter.

Last week, Lindell was seen visiting the White House and carrying partially obscured notes that looked to tell Trump to invoke “martial law if necessary.”

Following Lindell’s interview where he referenced Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s, users on Twitter are calling for other retailers, like Walmart, to drop MyPillow as well.

The country’s largest retailer recently halted donations from its political action committee to the campaigns of congressional Republicans who opposed certifying Biden’s election.
