On June 12, police were dispatched to a CVS located on San Jose
Boulevard in reference to a dispute between a clerk and a customer who
returned ready to use enema laxatives, and had done so several times in
the recent past.
An investigation revealed the individual was frequenting the CVS since
March and began returning the product in April. He would purchase a pack
of enemas and return them at a later time. According to CVS personnel,
the items appeared to be unused and therefore the store would put the
box of enemas back on the shelf for resale.
Here is the statement from CVS Pharmacy:
Because the health and safety of our customers is our top
priority, we alerted the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and the Food
& Drug Administration (FDA) that as many as twelve enema packages
sold at our San Jose Blvd. store in Jacksonville between April 10 and
June 12 were possibly used by a customer who then returned them with
re-sealed packaging to make the products appear unopened. Based on our
own investigation and examination of our transaction records, we do not
believe any other CVS stores or any other products are affected.
We
are fully cooperating with the authorities in their investigation of
this matter and will work with them to assure that the individual
responsible is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Also,
out of an abundance of caution, we are proactively contacting all
twenty-one customers we've identified who purchased any of the
potentially impacted enema products at the store within this period of
time and have succeeded in reaching more than half of them. We have also
placed signage in the store to direct customers who may have purchased
any of the affected products to contact us immediately.
Anyone
who purchased an enema product at our San Jose Blvd. store in
Jacksonville between April 10 and June 12 should contact us toll-free at
1-866-559-8861 for more information.
