Quick Glance: Record Fine: Family Dollar Stores Hit with $41M Penalty
- This week, Family Dollar Stores was ordered to pay $41.6 million for using a rodent-infested warehouse to distribute goods to over 400 stores in the South.
- A U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation found 'live rodents, dead and decaying rodents, rodent feces, urine, and odors' at the company's distribution center in Arkansas.
- As part of the plea agreement, both Family Dollar Stores and Dollar Tree must adhere to 'robust' corporate reporting guidelines for the next three years.
- U.S. Attorney Jonathan D. Ross stated: 'It is incomprehensible that Family Dollar knew about the rodent and pest issues at its distribution center in Arkansas but continued to ship products that were unsafe and insanitary.'
