WASHINGTON (AP) — FDA says Dollar Tree left lead-tainted applesauce pouches on store shelves for weeks after recall.

Considering they are trying to run stores with one single employee in the building at any given moment this doesn’t surprise me.

'crime is out of control'

Well, it is Dollar Tree. I suspect everything in there is lead-tainted to some degree or another. Except anything that's supposed to contain lead. That's most likely lead free.

You don't understand. Dollar tree sets up in food deserts so people will shop there.

i don’t think anything they said indicated they don’t understand that! i don’t live in a food desert and i’ve bought plenty of food at dollar tree

Thanks for your opinion?

tryna point out we’re all on the same side not come at you my bad

Settle down, kids

😄

Agree with this. These stores target small/ rural communities where the locals have few, if any, alternatives.

These types of stores are intentionally located in neighborhoods where there are limited choices for food.

To be fair, nobody actually works at a Dollar Tree

Well yeah. Between stocking, register, unloading the truck, and doing price changes, how is Nicole supposed to do that?

Sir, I assure you they were left on the floor.

I know a lot of people go there. I wouldn't buy ANY food product from there if you paid me.

Of course they did. They have 1.5 employees working at every store. That Family Dollar acq decision was stupid. And the families that might've been affected probably have no idea.

Greed is America's Achilles heel

It’s not nearly that hard to hit.

FDA should have power to issue massive fines, of more than 10% annual net income @wyden.senate.gov

Holy shit they just don't care do they???!

So what is the actual *consequence*? Now that the company has demonstrated not only negligence, but overt malice, the company must be on the hook for lifetime blood monitoring for anyone who bought or consumed the company's contaminated products.

Don’t worry, Trump will fix this!

Get their asses.
