Dozens of items have been recalled by Family Dollar because they were stored outside of temperature requirements.
The items included are various over-the-counter medical products, such as condoms, pregnancy tests, toothpastes, and denture cleaners. A full list is below.
The Food and Drug Administration said the Colgate toothpastes included in the recall were shipped to stores in Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Utah from May 1, 2022, through June 21, 2022.
The other dozens of recalled medical items were shipped around the same time to even more locations.
To date, Family Dollar is not aware of any consumer complaints or reports of illness related to this recall.
Earlier this summer, Family Dollar recalled a massive batch of additional over-the-counter medical products for the same reason. These additional products were added last week.
