Dollar Tree failed to effectively recall lead-tainted applesauce pouches linked to reports of illness in more than 500 children, leaving the products on some store shelves for two months, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.
This is horrible, but also not surprising. I bought a candy bar there once that expired 2 years earlier. I’m sure their inventory control is non existent.
Also, I feel like no one in power to do anything cares anymore. Lead poisoning children and giving them debilitating illnesses later in life “meh”. Policies are written based on if the policy maker can outlive problem and it does not directly effect them.
Ah.
Making sure more kids grow up to vote republican.
Dollar Tree: Pick the Poison, Hell, it’s all Probably Poison.
If few kids of the poor die… does a bear shit in the woods?
I saw a tree fall in the forest, but it didn’t know I was watching so it’s not my grandfather’s boat anymore
Not surprising at all to be honest:
The lead apple doesn’t fall far from the Dollar Tree.
*the Dollar.25† Tree
†or more
Probably because they where understaffed and hadn’t put all of it on the shelves.
No but seriously, how are they even still running and not bankrupt already
They’re insanely profitable.
Almost as if exploitation is necessary to succeed in today’s economy.
They are the very worst kind of economic vulture
But seriously, that’s actually probably why.
I can’t wait for them to get hit with a small fine that doesn’t scale at all with how much they actually make in a year.
Dollar Tree to their Single Underpaid Employee that is forced to run every Dollar Tree store in the country: “hey can you recall those applesauces contaminated with lead tnx bestie <3” Dollar Tree Employee (singular):
This is a company that doesn’t respect its customers or workers.
