The FDA said it began an investigation into the West Memphis, Arkansas, distribution facility after receiving a consumer complaint in January. Inspectors found live rodents, dead rodents,"rodent feces and urine, evidence of gnawing, nesting and rodent odors throughout the facility, dead birds and bird droppings, and products stored in conditions that did not protect against contamination," the FDA said. After fumigating the facility, more than 1,100 dead rodents were discovered.
Days after inspectors arrived at the facility, distribution was stopped. The FDA says it concluded its investigation on February 11. "Families rely on stores like Family Dollar for products such as food and medicine. They deserve products that are safe," Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs Judith McMeekin said in the FDA's statement."No one should be subjected to products stored in the kind of unacceptable conditions that we found in this Family Dollar distribution facility."
