The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On August 23, 2021, the California Attorney General filed accusation (case 6318) on behalf of the Board of Pharmacy against United Pharmacy and owner Pamala Gumbs.
According to court documents, at different times between 2013 and 2017, it was found that 180 prescriptions were filled five days or more before the previous prescription supplies were exhausted, that expired drugs were not disposed of properly, and were found to be intermixed with non-expired drugs. The Pharmacy failed to update documentation of inventory every 2 years as required, lacked a plan to ensure quantitative analysis of compound drug preparations and compounded drugs without maintaining a compounding record which documented the manufacturer, expiration date, and lot number of each component. It is also alleged that the owner failed to provide documentation that pharmacy personnel were trained properly and it alleged that controlled substances were dispensed with prescription forms that were missing the required security features.
According to the Stipulated Settlement entered into on June 20, 2022, the Pharmacist license of Pamela Gumbs was placed on a 5-year probation. The Pharmacy license for United Pharmacy was voluntarily surrendered with the business being sold or closed. The respondents were also ordered to pay a $20,000.00 investigative fee.
