A southern West Virginia pharmacy is taking heat for handing out candy to children in bottles that looked like prescription bottles.
The Ripley, WV, Pharmacy says it didn't intend to cause controversy with the bottles, which have been used by pharmacies and hospitals in the past for the same type of marketing. But Dodie Rhodes, whose son recently died from a prescription drug overdose, said it's a bad idea.
"How many deaths have we had from prescription drugs," Rhodes told WSAZ.com. "I can understand the marketing part of it, but I'm thinking, who would give out candy to children in pill bottles."
The pharmacy has said it won't use the bottles again.
