Thanks to you, we are
gaining momentum to put a stop to Urban Outfitters selling products made to look like
prescription pill bottles!
U.S. Congressman
Hal Rogers (KY) has sent a letter directly to Richard A. Hayne, CEO and Chairman of Urban
Outfitters, encouraging him to “remove these items from the shelves immediately
so as not to contribute to this epidemic” [of prescription drug abuse].
Along with Rogers , Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway,
who co-chairs the Substance Abuse Committee of the National Association of
Attorneys General, has joined the effort.
In just the past few
days, various media outlets have brought this to the
public’s attention, including ABC News,
Associated Press,
The Huffington Post,
News 4 WOAI (thanks
to our alliance with The San Antonio Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse), UPI and
more!
We’re not done, because we still haven’t
received a response from Urban Outfitters.
Please take the
time to tweet your plea. Here are some sample tweets:
