WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. -- More than 1,000 rodents were found inside a Family Dollar distribution facility in Arkansas, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Friday as the chain issued a voluntary recall affecting items purchased from hundreds of stores in the South.. Inside the building, inspectors said they found live rodents, dead rodents in"various states of decay," rodent feces, dead birds and bird droppings.
In a news release, Family Dollar listed the 404 stores that may have sold products from the contaminated facility. The company said it"is not aware of any consumer complaints or reports of illness related to this recall." The FDA said food in non-permeable packaging"may be suitable for use if thoroughly cleaned." Regardless of packaging, all drugs, medical devices, cosmetics and dietary supplements should be thrown away, officials said.
"Family Dollar is notifying its affected stores by letter asking them to check their stock immediately and to quarantine and discontinue the sale of any affected product," the company said."Customers that may have bought affected product may return such product to the Family Dollar store where they were purchased without receipt."
