Family Dollar Temporarily Closes Over 400 Stores Across 6 States

The move comes amid a massive recall of products after federal regulators found more than 1,100 rodents at a distribution facility in Arkansas.

Family Dollar stores have closed more than 400 locations across the U.S. after a massive rodent infestation and recall.

Federal inspectors say they found more than 1,100 rodents inside a Family Dollar distribution facility in Arkansas. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says consumer complaint prompted officials to inspect the West Memphis, Arkansas, facility last month.

Inside the building, inspectors said they found live rodents, dead rodents, rodent feces and dead birds. The FDA said it is working with Family Dollar to begin a voluntary recall of affected products.
