Dollar General is a national retailer with over 8,000 stores in the United States. The company sells a variety of items, including groceries, clothing, and household items.
In 2017, the company was investigated for selling hair products that were not compliant with federal safety standards. The products in question were marketed as natural hair care products, but failed to meet federal safety standards for ingredients and labeling.
As a result of the investigation, Dollar General agreed to pay a $700,000 fine and reform its hair products sales practices.
While Dollar General is not the only retailer to sell unsafe hair products, this incident provides a warning to consumers about the dangers of using unapproved hair products. It is important to be aware of the safety standards that are in place for hair products, and to only purchase products from reputable companies.
