A recent study conducted on several dollar stores revealed that several items purchased in these stores can be harmful to human health and lives.

According to All Cute All The Time, the study was done at stores like Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and 99 Cents Only. Although these stores provide great savings, they might not be that great to human health.

The source further informed that many of these items contained harmful toxic chemicals that can lead to major infections, which may further result in deaths in the worst-case scenario.

Such harmful chemical was basically contained in plastic items. The research results showed that 81% of the items researched had at least one toxic chemical, and 49% had at least two or more toxic chemicals.
