Arkansas is suing Family Dollar after the discovery of a rat infestation prompted the closure of 400 stores, including locations in Alabama.
That “misconduct” exposed people to “hazardous, adulterated and contaminated products,” the lawsuit said.it was recalling a wide range of products due to the “presence of rodents and rodent activity” at the Family Dollar Distribution Center in West Memphis, Arkansas. Products involved in the recall include drugs, medical devices, dietary supplements, and food for humans and pets.
The products were shipped from the facility from January 2021 to February 2022 to stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. According to FDA officials, unsanitary conditions at the facility included “live rodents, dead rodents in various states of decay, rodent feces and urine, evidence of gnawing and nesting and rodent odors throughout the facility.” The inspection also turned up “dead birds and bird droppings, and products stored in conditions that did not protect against contamination.”
Arkansas’ lawsuit seeks up to $10,000 for each violation of the state’s deceptive trade practices act, punitive damages and restitution for all consumers affected by the contamination.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
