John Lewis has removed all Siberian goose-down pillows from its shelves following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Sales of the £76 luxury pillows were halted when the department store audited all products across 35 branches to identify any with a Russian origin.

Sales assistants were told by managers to refuse sales of any bedding described as being stuffed with Siberian down, Mail on Sunday reported.

Last week, Siberian bedding was listed on the John Lewis website as “no longer available online”.

John Lewis said it is working with suppliers to review products that have components of Russian origin.

“As part of this process we’re removing bedding containing Siberian goose down from sale and seeking alternative sources of goose down,” John Lewis said.

“The pizza oven pellets have also been removed from sale.”
