Class action suit filed against CVS subsidiary for misuse of personal information

ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (KLFY) -- A class action lawsuit has been filed against a subsidiary of CVS pharmacies in response to the company's campaign against a bill in the Louisiana Legislature.

The lawsuit, filed in the 16th Judicial District Court, stems from reports that CVS Pharmacy sent thousands of Louisiana residents emails and text messages claiming that a bill pending before the Louisiana legislature would force CVS Pharmacy locations to close, cause prescription prices to rise, and result in job losses for pharmacists.
