The Food and Drug Administration has announced the recall of several over-the-counter medical products because they were incorrectly stored. This is a similar recall from earlier this year, the FDA said.

The products had been accidentally shipped to some stores between May 1 and June 10. The affected products were stored in conditions that were not within the labeled temperature requirements, the FDA said.

There haven’t been any reports of illness or complaints about the products. However, the company is still issuing the recall out of an abundance of caution.

The products listed on the recall notice can be found on the FDA’s website, but not all stores got all of the products.

Family Dollar is instructing stores that may have received the products to check their stock immediately and to discontinue the sale of the recalled items.

Customers can return the products to the store from which they were purchased — no receipt is required.

The recall does not apply to stores in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Alaska or Hawaii since the company has no stores in Alaska or Hawaii and the stores operating in the other states that are listed did not receive any of the products, the FDA said.

Customers who have questions about this recall can call Family Dollar’s customer service at 844-636-7687 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. EST.
