The Arkansas attorney general filed a lawsuit against Family Dollar for selling 'potentially harmful or contaminated products' due to a 'massive rodent infestation' at a distribution center.
The Arkansas attorney general filed a lawsuit against Family Dollar for selling "potentially harmful or contaminated products" due to a "massive rodent infestation" at its West Memphis, Arkansas distribution center.
"Their total disregard for public safety endangered Arkansas consumers and forced hundreds of employees to work in unsafe conditions at the West Memphis Distribution Center," Attorney General Rutledge said in a Thursday news release. "In many rural communities in Arkansas, families rely on discount stores like Family Dollar for essential products such as food, medicine or pet food," said Attorney General Rutledge. "Family Dollar has had knowledge of this dangerous and massive rodent infestation for over two years, yet they continued to sell and profit from potentially contaminated goods. Consumers lost money and could have lost their lives.
In March 2021, the Arkansas Department of Health inspected the West Memphis Distribution Center where inspectors reported seeing "significant rodent activity where human food and pet food were stored" and management stated that they were aware of the rodent issues.
