The owner of Kramer's Pharmacy in Agoura Hills insisted that he is not breaking any laws, saying he had to pay extra for shipping and had to staff enough workers to sell the in-demand testing kits
“A seller cannot increase by more than 10% the amount that they’re charging for a test kit versus what they charged before the governor’s order and if they weren’t selling it before, they can’t charge more than 50%,” said City Attorney Mike Feurer.
“If our viewers are in the City of Los Angeles, we will follow up. If they are not within the city, we will refer them to the appropriate authority. When asked for an invoice to show what the pharmacy paid for the tests, CBSLA received an email from the pharmacy’s attorney saying Kramer’s “complies with the executive order and “has not broken the law.” The attorney’s email, though, contradicted the owner’s statement that the pharmacy just started selling home tests, but assured CBSLA that the owner had not raised the price of the testing kits by more than 10%.
