A deputy attorney general working for the Ohio Board of Pharmacy on Thursday recommended that the board fine CVS and place a store it operates in Canton on probation for “a period of years” after inspectors in 2021 found risks to patient safety due to understaffing.
Attorneys for CVS blamed the problems on the coronavirus pandemic. But board of pharmacy inspectors found similar problems at a dozen other CVS stores in Ohio — some occurring as recently as last year.
