Some Family Dollar customers in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee will get $25 gift cards to settle a class-action suit, stemming from rat infestation at a West Memphis warehouse.
The case was heard in federal court in Memphis and the proposed settlement is contingent on approval by the court. The suit was filed on behalf of Family Dollars customers that were served by stores receiving merchandise from the warehouse. The discovery of the rat problem led to the closure of 400 Family Dollar stores.
