Missouri's attorney general is taking Walgreen’s back to court, saying they are violating a settlement reached last year over its pricing practices.
Attorney General Chris Koster's office asked a judge Tuesday to hold the nation’s largest pharmacy chain in contempt for violating terms of the 2014 deal.
Koster sued Walgreen’s in 2013, accusing the retailer of overcharging and deceiving customers with advertising and pricing schemes in Missouri. Koster says the investigation began after consumers complained that display prices were less than what they paid at checkout.
But Koster alleges Walgreen's violated the agreement by not removing expired sales tags from shelves and overcharging customers in almost 1,300 recent instances.
Walgreen's said it may publicly comment later Tuesday.
