Urban Outfitters, a retail chain known for carrying humorous, yet sometimes controversial products, is under the spotlight for its “Prescription Line.” Attorney General Pam Bondi and 22 other AGs wrote a letter to the store asking them to stop all sales of products that mimic prescription pill bottles and pads, saying that the products “undermine” the efforts to combat prescription drug abuse, the Miami Herald reports. Although the letter strongly encourages the retailer to stop sales, no legal action is being taken against the company. 

 

Originally founded in December 2006 as an independent grassroots publication dedicated to coverage of health issues in Florida, Health News Florida was acquired by WUSF Public Media in September 2012.
