Sav-on pill bottles given to kids at a California Albertsons were loaded with candy.
FALLBROOK, CA - Parents are outraged after prescription bottles full of candy were given away to children at a California Albertsons.
The bottles were given to children as part of a promotion inside the store in Fallbrook, California, near San Diego. Parents say the bottles, which look like they are full of pills - were actually full of candy.
The real prescription bottles were labeled with "SavOn Pharmacy," and filled with Hershey's Kisses.
The store says the promotion was a lapse in judgment by one of its vendors and has been stopped.
