Any price increases stemming from increases in commodities' prices, labor costs, or inflation must be absorbed by the company.

Due to the discounted nature of DLTR's products, cost-cutting incentives may result in its household products containing harmful ingredients. Consumers that are considering DLTR as a possible alternative for household items during this economic downturn may be discouraged from buying at DLTR due to safety concerns raised by the aerosol case.
