Family Dollar issued another recall for several over-the-counter drug products improperly stored and shipped to an undisclosed number of stores.
Seven different Advil products were included in the recall because they were stored “outside of labeled temperature requirements,” according to a notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The affected products were stored and shipped to certain stores on or around June 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023, according to the notice. However, Family Dollar, which is owned by Dollar Tree, didn’t specify how many stores were impacted and where they are located.
