If you're looking to buy a MyPillow product from Costco, you might struggle.
The brand's products seem to have disappeared from the retailer's website.
Insider spoke to a customer service worker from Costco via the company's website, who said there seemed to be no MyPillow products in stock at any of its stores near Brooklyn. They confirmed that none were listed for sale for online orders.
Insider asked Costco whether it had cut ties with the brand. The retailer declined to comment.
This is a change from January, when Costco said that it had "contractual commitments to MyPillow that we intend to honor" when asked for comment.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has repeatedly pushed voter-fraud conspiracy theories. This included baseless claims that Dominion's voting machines helped rig the 2020 US presidential election.
In response, the company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against both Lindell and MyPillow, accusing the CEO of profiting from his peddling of voter-fraud claims.
Lindell told Insider last week that at least 22 retailers have pulled ties with his company since January, including Sam's Club, Kohl's, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Lindell said he expected this to cost the company about $65 million in lost revenue this year, but that radio and podcast infomercials could plug the gap.
More than 100,000 people have also signed a petition calling on other retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, to follow suit and stop selling MyPillow's products.
