The Center for Inquiry has filed a lawsuit in the District of
Columbia on behalf of the general public against drug retailer CVS for
consumer fraud over its sale and marketing of useless homeopathic
medicines. CFI, an organization advancing reason and science, accused
the country’s largest drug retailer of deceiving consumers through its
misrepresentation of homeopathy’s safety and effectiveness, wasting
customers’ money and putting their health at risk.

Homeopathy is an 18th-century pseudoscience premised on the absurd,
unscientific notion that a substance that causes a particular symptom is
what should be ingested to alleviate it. Dangerous substances are
diluted to the point that no trace of the active ingredient remains, but
its alleged effectiveness rests on the nonsensical claim that water
molecules have “memories” of the original substance. Homeopathic
treatments have no effect whatsoever beyond that of a placebo.
