Recent allegations have been made against CVS, a national pharmacy chain. The allegations have been made by the group Cure CVS Now, an affiliate of the nationwide organization Change to Win. The group claims that many CVS branches in the Baltimore area sell expired products.
The organization conducted a survey of 310 CVS stores across nine states. According to the results of the survey, 57% of the CVS stores in the Baltimore region sell expired products. Among the most alarming products in this list are milk, baby formula, and over-the-counter medication.

Some of the infant medications sold in CVS stores had expired more than three years ago. This constitutes a blatant disregard for public safety. Fortunately, there have been no reports yet of any injuries or illnesses sustained from these expired products. However, this gross negligence has opened CVS up to many potentially massive product liability lawsuits if any injuries do get reported.

Representatives from CVS deny any wrongdoing, claiming that these reports have been made by disgruntled former employees. CVS claims that they follow a strict product removal policy at their store branches. However, it is unlikely that so many reports of expired products could be a fabrication.
