Several Advil products sold at Family Dollar stores are being recalled after they were stored outside their labeled temperature requirements, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

An array of Advil medications that were shipped to certain Family Dollar stores between June 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023, are being recalled as of May 4. The over-the-counter drugs were reportedly not stored within temperature requirements, which can affect the medication’s efficacy.
