CVS Pharmacy has settled with Attorney General Jerry Brown over allegations the store violated state law by selling long-expired goods to its customers.

In March 2008, an investigation by Brown found that CVS stores in L.A., Orange and San Diego Counties regularly sold expired baby food, baby formula, over-the-counter medications and dairy products.

The following expired products were found on store shelves:

- Gerber's Vanilla Custard, 11 months expired, at a Huntington Beach store.
- Bright Beginnings Ultra Baby Formula 31.7 oz., 3 months expired, at a Fullerton store.
- Bonine for Kids (children's motion sickness medication), 5 months expired, at a Buena Park store.
- Gerber Baby Food Oatmeal with Applesauce and Bananas, 2 months expired, at an El Cajon store.

As a result, the store has agreed to provide customers a $2 coupon if they find products in CVS Pharmacies or Longs Drug stores that are past their sell-by date.
