Louisiana files lawsuits alleging pharmaceutical giant CVS deceived customers in text messages
CVS has denied any wrongdoing.
‘It’s more delay, they’re going to fight till the end and we’re going to continue to fight as well.’
‘CVS … you should be so ashamed of this. You are scaring people.’
‘These are not doctors providing health care. They are drug dealers. They are violating our laws.’
‘You can’t talk about air quality unless you’re using the equipment that they want you to use.’
Louisiana, which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, became the first state last year to heighten the classification of the two pills.
The conviction relied on bite mark analysis experts now believe to be ‘junk science.’
Opponents have raised concerns that the legislation could lead local police and sheriffs to detain immigrants for longer than they are supposed to.
‘As the district court ruled, this law is unconstitutional on its face.’
The state has reclassified the pills as ‘Schedule IV drugs,’ putting them in the same category as the opioid tramadol and other substances that can be addictive.
