The US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about the safety of products from Family Dollar stores in six states, after more than 1,000 dead rodents were recovered after an inspection of a distribution facility in West Memphis, Arkansas.
“Conditions observed during the inspection included 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. More than 1,100 dead rodents were recovered from the facility following a fumigation at the facility in January 2022,” the FDA said in a statement on Friday. A consumer complaint prompted the investigation, the FDA said.
