INDIANA, (WOWO): Meijer stores across the region will pay $2 million to settle charges that the retailer knowingly sold and distributed hundreds of recalled products.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Meijer distributed at least a dozen different recalled products – from toys to vacuum cleaners – through a system it operated with a third-party contractor.
