Georgia Shipley, 77, of Knoxville, says she had picked up her blood pressure medication at CVS usual. However, she said “after I took the first pill, by the next day I felt really bad.”

At the emergency room, Shipley was diagnosed with acute kidney failure. When she got back home, she says she noticed that some of her pills were a little bigger than others.

Shipley says the pill could have killed her had she not noticed.

Shipley is suing CVS for $2.5 million.

“I just never dreamed anything like this would ever happen,” Shipley said.

CVS is not commenting on the litigation.
