Family Dollar is issuing a recall for hundreds of products, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and toothpaste. These items were sold at Family Dollar stores in 23 states and were stored improperly, outside of labeled temperature requirements. The products were inadvertently shipped to customers before the issue was discovered. The recall notice was posted by the Food and Drug Administration.
Consumers who purchased the recalled products between June 1 and October 4 can return them to the store where they were purchased, even without a receipt. If you have any questions, you can contact the company at (844) 636-7687 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time. For a complete list of the brand-name products being recalled, including aspirin, laxatives, ear drops, and eye drops, click here.
Customers who return the recalled products will receive a full refund, as confirmed by a company spokesperson.
The recalled products were sold at Family Dollar stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
This recall comes after a previous recall in which Family Dollar recalled bottles of Advil due to improper storage as well. Last year, the company also issued a recall for FDA-regulated products from a distribution center in West Memphis, Arkansas, which were affected by rodent infestation and the potential presence of salmonella.
Dollar Tree, the parent company of Family Dollar, announced that a new distribution center will open next year in West Memphis. This facility will have building-wide temperature control to prevent issues like these recalls in the future. Dollar Tree operates 16,476 stores across 48 states and five Canadian provinces.
