Family Dollar recalls more than 400 products that were improperly stored

Family Dollar is recalling more than 430 products, such as toothpaste, over-the-counter drugs and hemorrhoid ointment, that had been stored at the wrong temperature before being inadvertently shipped to stores across the U.S.

The recall covers a slew of items regulated by the Food and Drug Administration that were shipped to stores on or around May 1, 2022, through June 10, 2022, the discount retailer said Thursday in a notice posted by the FDA. The recall comes because the products were "stored outside of labeled temperature requirements," the notice stated.

Earlier this year, products sold at Family Dollar stores in six states were recalled after more than 1,000 dead rodents were found at a distribution facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. Family Dollar closed more than 400 stores as a result, and the company is being sued by the state of Arkansas.
