Walgreens never told federal or state authorities that one of its pharmacists had made a mistake on a prescription that led to devastating brain damage in a suburban Chicago infant. Because it didn't have to. Neither the federal government nor 46 of the 50 states have any law requiring that drug stores report prescription errors.
