AG ‘SPOILING’ FOR RX FIGHT

State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said yesterday he will sue CVS and Rite Aid for continuing to sell expired baby formula, milk and children’s medicine.

On June 12, Cuomo announced that a three-month investigation by his office found that 28 CVS and 22 Rite Aid pharmacies statewide were selling expired products.

After follow-up visits last week, undercover investigators found that 50 percent of CVS stores checked – 12 of 24 – and 40 percent of Rite Aid stores checked – eight of 20 – were still selling expired items, Cuomo said.

A Rite Aid spokewoman said the company is retraining staffers to remedy the problem. A CVS spokesman said the chain is removing expired products.
