Family Dollar Agrees to $41.7 Million Settlement Following Warehouse Contamination Issue

by Zyrene D.

in Compliance, Supply Chain Transparency

Family Dollar has reached a settlement agreement, including a guilty plea to a misdemeanor violation, after contamination issues were discovered at one of its distribution centers in West Memphis, Arkansas. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified the facility, known as DC 202, as being infested with rodents and exhibiting unsanitary conditions, according to a press release dated February 26.

The problems at the distribution center came to light after the FDA issued a warning and subsequently, Family Dollar received a subpoena on March 1, 2022, demanding information on compliance procedures and potentially affected products. The investigation led to the decision to permanently close the implicated distribution center and temporarily shut down over 400 Family Dollar stores, alongside a temporary recall of products originating from DC 202.

As part of the plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, Dollar Tree Inc., the parent company of Family Dollar, will pay $200,000 in fines and an additional $41.5 million in forfeiture money judgment. This sum represents the value of the FDA-regulated products that were compromised at the West Memphis facility. In response to this issue, Family Dollar plans to open a new, modernized distribution center in West Memphis by fall 2024. This project, representing an investment of over $100 million, aims to prioritize safety, sanitation, and compliance standards.

Rick Dreiling, Chairman and CEO of Dollar Tree, emphasized the company’s commitment to transforming its operations, focusing on safety and compliance. He expressed his disappointment upon discovering the conditions at the Family Dollar facility and outlined the measures taken to prevent future incidents. These measures include the implementation of enhanced policies and procedures, the creation of new compliance and safety roles, and the development of risk-based controls. Additionally, all of the company’s distribution centers have passed independent audits and achieved Good Distribution Practices certification over the past 18 months.

Dollar Tree is also enhancing its supply chain operations, expanding the role of its Chief Operating Officer to oversee these functions, improving store deliveries, investing in transportation management systems, and planning to implement temperature controls across its distribution center network.
