Hartford, Connecticut (AHN) - Connecticut's attorney general filed a suit against CVS Caremark Corp, for selling products that were past their expiration dates. The products include food, beverages and over-the-counter medications.
The lawsuit was filed in the state superior court and seeks up to $5,000 per violation, potentially costing the company millions. Last month, CVS agree to pay $875,000 in New York to settle similar charger. Their rival Rite Aid Corp paid $1.3 million to also settle charges in New York.
CVS agreed to adopt procedures to prevent keeping expired items on the shelf, and also to post in-store reminders to customers to check labels for expiration dates. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said out of the 45 stores his office visited, 20 were selling expired products. Since the incident, CVS has gone down on the New York Stock Exchange.
CVS is based in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
