Family Dollar is proposing to give $25 gift cards to shoppers in Alabama and five other states who made purchases at a time when a rat infestation at the company’s Arkansas warehouse led to the closure of more than 400 stores.

Under a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit filed in federal court in Memphis, Tennessee, Family Dollar will dole out $25 gift cards to shoppers who bought any product between January 2020 and Feb. 18, 2022, when the 404 stores were closed.

Along with Alabama, residents in five other states where stores were closed — Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee — are eligible for the $25 gift cards.

Settlement claims can be submitted here.

Shoppers who received settlement notices via email were instructed to input the notice ID and confirmation code in the appropriate fields.

Those who did not receive the notice can still submit a claim by inputting the store numbers of the Family Dollars they shopped at during the time outlined by the proposed settlement.

Those shoppers will also have to swear under penalty of perjury that their claim form is correct, that they purchased a product during the eligible time period and that they or any other member of their household already submitted a claim.

Residents have until Jan. 9 to submit a claim, opt out of the settlement or object to the settlement.

A court hearing on final approval of the settlement is scheduled for April 5.

In February 2022, Family Dollar voluntarily recalled some products due to the “presence of rodents and rodent activity” at the Family Dollar distribution center in West Memphis, Arkansas. Products involved in the recall included drugs, medical devices, dietary supplements, and food for humans and pets.

According to FDA officials, unsanitary conditions at the facility included “live rodents, dead rodents in various states of decay, rodent feces and urine, evidence of gnawing and nesting and rodent odors throughout the facility.” The inspection also turned up “dead birds and bird droppings, and products stored in conditions that did not protect against contamination.”
