FDA removes 1,100 dead rodents from Arkansas Family Dollar facility

Company says it is not aware of any consumer complaints but lists 404 stores that might have sold contaminated food and drugs

More than 1,000 rodents were found inside a Family Dollar distribution facility in Arkansas, the US Food and Drug Administration said on Friday as the chain issued a voluntary recall on items purchased from hundreds of stores across the US south.

A consumer complaint had prompted officials to inspect the West Memphis, Arkansas, facility in January, the FDA said.
