Tennessee AG Settles with Family Dollar for $1.125M Over Rodent-Infested Goods

The Office of the Tennessee Attorney General announced a settlement today with Family Dollar Stores, a subsidiary of Dollar Tree Inc. This settlement follows an investigation that revealed Family Dollar stores in Tennessee were selling consumer goods that had knowingly been stored in a rodent-infested distribution center in West Memphis, Arkansas.

“When a mom or dad buys groceries for their kids, they should never have to wonder whether some nasty critter got the first bite,” said Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. “No matter the family budget, whether at a discount shop or not, every Tennessean deserves confidence in the food they buy. This settlement holds Family Dollar accountable and protects Tennessee families from being sold harmful or mislabeled food.”
