CVS will pay almost a-quarter-million dollars for misleading customers into believing they were getting more of a product than they really were, using false bottoms or false sides in its packaging.
Action News has obtained court documents detailing the investigation and final judgment against the Rhode Island-based pharmacy giant. It says CVS mislabeled 11 products under its own brand. Investigators found the company misrepresented product sizes or quantity “by use of oversized and non-functional slack-fill and/or false sidewalls and /or false bottoms,” according to the documents.
The packaging violated California business and professions codes and health and safety codes.
