It's often unexpected, but here's another recall deserving of your attention, mainly because some of the products may impact your life. Or, in this case, lead to the start of a new one.

You won't have to be concerned if you haven't had a good reason to use those items. But if you have an unexpected baby on the way, we will know why it's genuinely and aptly named the Family Dollar store.

Family Dollar initiated a voluntary recall of several products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products were stored and accidentally shipped to some stores around May 1, 2022, through June 10, 2022. That alone is not the reason for the recall. However, the items may have been stored in situations outside of the labeled temperature requirements. 

The recall affects dozens of products, including Over-the-Counter Medical Devices and Over-the-Counter Pharmaceutical Products.

Although no consumer complaints or medical conditions have been reported, the recall is done out of the company's desire to be safe rather than sorry. 

The recall is at the retail store level; not all products listed were sent to all stores. Family Dollar has sent notice to local stores to check the inventory asap and to withdraw and discontinue the sale of any affected products. If a customer has bought one of the affected products, they may return it to the Family Dollar where they purchased it. A receipt is not required.

The list is lengthy and is viewable here. However, some essential items that could lead to a potential pregnancy stand out. So head this warning if you have purchased your birth control at a Family Dollar Store in recent months.

  • 900260 CLEARBLUE SMART COUNTDOWN PRGNCY TEST 1CT
