Michelle R. Mason filed a complaint Sept. 8 in Kanawha Circuit Court against The Kroger Co., Kroger Limited Partnership I, Kroger Specialty Pharmacy Holdings I, Kroger Pharmacy No. 772, Allison Foster and John or Jane Does alleging that they violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 12, 2015, she purchased her 30-day regular prescription of Azathioprine at defendants' pharmacy store No. 772.
