Several products sold at Family Dollar stores in six states are being voluntarily recalled, the Food and Drug Administration said Friday. The recall was issued after the administration said it found more than 1,000 dead rodents after a fumigation at a distribution facility in Arkansas.

The recall impacts stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee, and products purchased between January 1, 2021, and today.

The recall includes, but is not limited to:

FDA-approved dietary supplements

Cosmetics, including skincare products, baby oils, lipsticks, shampoos and baby wipes

Animal foods, including kibble, pet treats and wild bird seed

Medical devices, including feminine hygiene products, surgical masks, contact lens cleaning solutions, bandages and nasal care products

Over-the-counter medications, including pain medications, eye drops, dental products, antacids and other medications for both adults and children

The FDA said it began an investigation into the West Memphis, Arkansas, distribution facility after receiving a consumer complaint in January. Inspectors found live rodents, dead rodents, "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," the FDA said.
After fumigating the facility, more than 1,100 dead rodents were discovered.

I did some formulation work at a store brand consumer cleaning products site.
It actually looked pretty nice & well maintained.
I guess I'm surprised about this.

4. Family Dollar...I won't shop here one bit, sure it's cheap, but it is no reason to shop these stores

that barely pay any livable wage, hire only (it seems like it) one person to work the whole store for 8 hours, and they're all owned by, get this, billionaires! No surprise here. But the way they treat their people is reprehensible.
