Family Dollar distribution center found infested with rodents.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers about potentially contaminated food, lipstick, and other products from Family Dollar stores in six southern states following a significant rodent infestation at one of its distribution centers in Arkansas. Live rodents, dead rodents in "various stages of decay," rodent feces and urine, evidence of gnawing, nesting, rodent odors, dead birds, and bird droppings were found inside the Family Dollar distribution center in Arkansas during an inspection in January. Family Dollar temporarily closed 400 stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. (MSN and syracuse.com)
