Recalled for Radon radioactive poison!
Just so everyone knows these were recalled by Costco in Korea for containing 9x the limit of Radon. I’m pretty worried what I was exposed to after using these for 2 years.  Costco had imported the pillow from Sinomax between December 2017 and April 2018. The World Health Organization categorizes radon as a Group 1 carcinogen, because the radioactive material may cause lung cancer. The retailer denied the consumer's claim at that time, citing a private institution's measurement.<br /><br />The institution's data includes the radon content of the pillow, but lacks thoron content.<br /><br />Thoron is a radon-220 isotope, a natural decay product of the most stable thorium isotope.<br /><br />Local broadcaster SBS claimed the pillow contains 1,406 becquerels per kilogram of radon, nine times higher than the permissible level.<br /><br />Costco said it has been aware of possibility of the pillow containing excessive amount of radon, after it carried out in-house testing on the product after complaints from several customers.<br /><br />"We reported our findings to the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission on Oct. 29, and decided to conduct a voluntary recall, regardless of the commission's investigation," the company said.<br /><br />However, it declined to disclose the specific radon content and the reason why the pillow contains the radioactive substance.<br /><br />It also refused to mention the amount of sales and imports of the product.<br /><br />Although the warehouse club has 1 million members in Korea, it has yet to notify each customer of the recall.<br /><br />It has not come up with a compensation plan either.
