CVS punished for misleading product packaging

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.

2. Yeah, I love it when I get a package that is

1/5 full and the rest is air. There's a lot of that going around.

3. the CVS on Monroe & Wabash in Chicago...

...frequently had higher prices at the scanner checkout then on the label. More than once, I called the Chicago Department of Consumer Services to report their rip-off.

In fact, I once complained about an overcharge to their customer service, and got my refund for that purchase. But I checked again a few days later, and they were still overcharging for the same item. They gave me a refund but did not fix the problem.

who stopped selling smokes because they are taking the moral high ground in promoting good health?

Now we know how they were going to make up for the lost income.
