CVS Reaches Agreement with New York Over Sale of Expired Products
CVS has reached an agreement with New York State to end an investigation into the sale of expired over-the-counter drugs, baby formula and other items.
State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said in a news release that CVS will pay $875,000 in penalties, costs and fees and will commit to policies and procedures to prevent expired products from being stocked on its shelves.
"New Yorkers should not have to worry that their neighborhood pharmacy is selling expired over-the-counter drugs that may be harmful to themselves or their families," Cuomo said in the release
A previous investigation by the AG's office uncovered sales of expired products in more than 122 Rite Aid stores and 148 CVS stores in more than 40 New York counties. Besides the drugs and baby formula, milk and eggs were found to be on shelves past their expiration dates.
