ST. MARTINVILLE, La. (NEWS 15) — An Acadiana law firm has filed a class action lawsuit against CVS Pharmacy, accusing the chain of improper political messaging.
The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, June 18, claims CVS violated the law by sending political texts and emails to its pharmacy customers in Louisiana. These messages warned that ongoing legislative actions could lead to store closures and increased prescription drug prices.
The legal action alleges CVS used patients’ private information for political purposes.
“We assume they thought that maybe people wouldn’t care or maybe people would just ignore it and that they would be successful in their political purposes,” said Blake David, the plaintiff’s attorney. “Well, they were successful politically, but believe me, people noticed. It’s a bipartisan issue. I haven’t found anybody who’s happy with what happened, that a major, major nationwide corporation with tens of billions of dollars can just blatantly violate the law.”
The plaintiffs are represented by the St. Martinville-based law firm of Broussard, David, and Moroux.
