Man Returns Used Enemas To CVS Store

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.
