The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent a warning letter to Dollar Tree saying it failed to remove a recalled apple sauce product sold to children that was found to be contaminated with lead.

In the letter, the FDA said that Dollar Tree, which also operates Family Dollar, sold WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree pouches weeks after Wanabana USA initiated a voluntary recall of all the products.
