CVS will award customers with $3.50 worth of store credit coupons if they find expired products at the chain's Pennsylvania stores, part of a settlement with the state Attorney General's office.
The settlement follows repeat cases in which state investigators found expired drugs, baby formula and dairy items on sale, the state says. Pennsylvania CVS Pharmacy LLC has also agreed to pay $450,000 to settle an investigation by the Health Care Section of the state Attorney General's office, which found the company "violated a 2010 agreement in which it agreed to address concerns related to the sale of expired over-the-counter drugs, infant formula and dairyproducts," according to a statement by state Attorney General Kathleen Kane.
After a previous probe found expired products, the company agreed to put together a system to prevent that from happening again.
But agents for Kame's office found out-of-date products were still on sale, "including infant formula and drugs made for children, at five of the six CVS stores they visited."
