    customers were at risk of getting potentially tainted drugs, or getting drugs that were old and no longer had their required potency...

    So, people were at risk for those problems, but no problems were documented to actually have occurred.

    Sort of curious that car dealerships do this every day of the week and it's A-OK.

      In order to determine if any individuals were harmed by tainted drugs, they would have to track every customer through every pharmacy that they sold through. People taking drugs tend to not be healthy, some have probably died, and they would then have to determine whether they died due to the medicine being tainted or impotent.

      I'm willing to bet they didn't hunt down those people. The pharmacies in question are victims of the original crime, yes, but it would open them up to massive liability in the case that anyone did die.

      They don't know if there were problems because they don't know who got them, and the people who got them were already sick.
