Family Dollar issues major recall effecting hundreds of products

Columbia, SC (WOLO) — The Food and Drug Administration is issuing a major recall for Family Dollar stores after the agency says hundreds of products they say were not stored within the “labeled required temperature”. The agency says the items effected were stored and sent out to stores between May 1, 2022 and June 10, 2022. Products included things like toothpastes, and mouthwash to soaps, sprays, and even over the counter medicine.

The FDA has requested that all stores to immediately check their shelves, remove and discontinue selling those items that are included in the recall.

The agency says there are things you can do as well, especially if Family Dollar is one of your regular stops. First, take full inventory of the items on the list and see if you may have purchased any of them between the above shipping dates. If you find some, return them to the store for a full refund.
