Storage failure prompts recall of drugs, medical devices in Kansas Family Dollar stores

10 October 2023

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Federal health officials say numerous healthcare products are being recalled in several states out of an abundance of caution.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Family Dollar is voluntarily recalling some over-the-counter drugs and medical devices as they were stored outside of labeled temperature requirements. The products were shipped to Family Dollar Stores on or around June 1, 2023 to Sept. 21, 2023 and were sold at these stores from June 1, 2023 to Oct. 4, 2023.

Family Dollar stores in Kansas and more than 20 other states are impacted by this recall, according to the FDA. These stores have been asked to quarantine and discontinue the sale of any products included in the recall. The FDA has not received any reports of illnesses in connection to this recall.
