A CVS pharmacy in New Jersey made a little mistake and sent out a dangerous cancer drug in place of flouride. They were pretty glib in their response, so much so that I almost wonder if their publicist doesn't work weekends.
The drug's side effects include blood clots and stroke, and the dosage would be devastating to a young child. The official statement mentions human error and processes, but doesn't indicate a lot of remorse or mention how many families may have been affected.
What will be interesting to know is how this happened so many times. There are many safeguards to prevent just this type of mistake, what allowed this to occur over an extended period of time will likely be devastating to one of the largest pharmacy chains in the country.
