Dollar General and Dollar Tree are popular stores that often have some good prices. But a prudent customer should always shop defensively. Here's a link to an article about a fine New York state assessed against two store chains -- link Dollar General and Dollar Tree fined $1.2 million for selling expired drugs, NY AG says. Excerpt:
Retail discounters Dollar General and Dollar Tree will pay $1.2 million in fines for selling expired products, the New York attorney general announced Monday.
The investigation also called out Family Dollar, which was acquired by Dollar Tree in 2015. All the chains sold expired over-the-counter drugs, while Dollar General was fined for selling motor oil unsuitable for modern cars; Dollar Tree also violated New York’s bottle deposit law, law enforcement officials said. ...
Motor oil is motor oil, right? Maybe not. More:
They said motor oil not suitable for most engines built after 1930 were also sold at Dollar General stores.
Oh, but the prices were so low!
