Louisiana Attorney General Probes CVS Over Mass Text Campaign Against Legislation
Baton Rouge, LA – Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has launched an investigation into CVS Pharmacy, alleging the drugstore chain may have misused customer data to send out mass text messages aimed at lobbying against pending legislation. The probe, announced Thursday, centers around concerns that CVS leveraged personal information obtained through its pharmacy services to influence public opinion and legislative decisions.
The investigation is focusing on whether CVS violated Louisiana’s consumer protection laws by using customer data—information gathered during prescription fulfillment and other pharmacy interactions—for political purposes without explicit consent. Attorney General Murrill expressed serious concerns about the potential for such practices to erode consumer trust and undermine the integrity of the legislative process.
