“First and foremost, we could not sell or donate product we weren’t certain was safe, but we also had vendor agreements, legal, logistical and insurance issues that left us with no other option than to dispose of the store’s inventory,” the company said in a statement to WSB-TV. “Fortunately, we’ve been able to support the communities hit by the storms in many other ways.”
