I am so glad my store isn’t involved in this recall. I only just started shopping at Family Dollar like a month ago.
If you shop at Family Dollar stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, or Tennessee, you need to check the list to make sure your store is not involved in the recall.
Family Dollar has issued a voluntary recall of certain products due to the presence of significant rodent activity at one of the company’s distribution centers.
While investigating a consumer complaint last month, an FDA inspection of Family Dollar’s West Memphis, AR distribution center revealed live rodents, dead rodents in various states of decay, rodent feces and urine, evidence of gnawing, nesting, and rodent odors throughout the facility, dead birds and bird droppings, and products stored in conditions that did not protect against contamination.
There are numerous potential health hazards associated with the presence of rodents.
Products impacted by this recall include all drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, dietary supplements, and both human and pet food products. The recall does not apply to products shipped directly to the stores by the distributor or manufacturer, such as all frozen and refrigerated items. A list of the 404 stores affected by this recall can be seen here.
The 404 affected stores have been temporarily closed for removal of affected products, cleaning and restocking.
