The New Jersey Attorney General announced the arrest of Christina Bekhit, a pharmacist operating AllCare Pharmacy, for selling fake COVID-19 vaccination record cards and entering false information into the state's immunization database. She faces criminal charges for computer criminal activity, tampering with public information, and falsification of medical records.
In-house legal teams should review all agreements involving AllCare Pharmacy, including vendor contracts with healthcare providers, customer service agreements with patients, employment contracts with pharmacists, and data processing addendums. Focus on clauses governing data accuracy and integrity, compliance with state immunization registry requirements, record-keeping standards, and audit rights. Updates should explicitly prohibit falsification of medical records, mandate accurate reporting to state databases, require regular training on data integrity, and include robust penalties for violations. Ensure agreements address verification protocols for vaccination documentation and adherence to health regulations to prevent similar misconduct.

"sold falsified COVID-19 vaccination record cards"
"entered false vaccination information into the New Jersey Immunization Information System database"
The New Jersey Board of Pharmacy temporarily suspended the license of Christina Bekhit, owner of AllCare Pharmacy, after her arrest for selling falsified COVID-19 vaccination cards and entering false information into the state's immunization database. Under a consent order filed on July 5, 2022, Bekhit agreed to cease pharmacy operations and surrender her permit, addressing grave public health risks from fraudulent vaccination records.
A multistate coalition co-led by New Jersey won a federal court order rejecting the Trump Administration’s decision not to request funding for the CFPB. The order struck down that decision and directed the Administration to follow the law and fund the agency; no monetary penalty or privacy violation is described.
New Jersey’s Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs alerted the public that three synthetic kratom-related compounds became illegal to possess or sell in the state under a temporary federal scheduling order. The release describes a controlled-substance alert, not a privacy enforcement action, and identifies no company, privacy violation, or monetary penalty.

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings agreed to pay $2,287,455 to participating states and strengthen its security and vendor-management practices following an investigation into the 2019 breach at its debt-collection vendor, AMCA. The breach potentially exposed information of more than 27.5 million people nationwide, including sensitive information belonging to approximately 10.2 million LabCorp patients.
$694.0M
New Jersey's Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs, along with 41 Attorneys General, reached a $694 million settlement with subprime auto lender Credit Acceptance Corporation over allegations it originated unaffordable loans its own systems predicted borrowers could not repay, employed aggressive debt-collection tactics, and failed to prevent deceptive vehicle-service contract and GAP product 'packing' by dealers. The multistate settlement stepped in after the CFPB permanently dropped its 2023 enforcement action against CAC in 2025. CAC will provide $60 million in cash restitution, $634 million in debt relief, an additional $15 million to the states, and implement injunctive lending reforms including loan off ramps, pre-loan disclosures, add-on packing safeguards, and a seven-year vehicle price cap. Note: this is a consumer-protection lending enforcement action, not a privacy matter; violation categories are best-fit mappings from the available taxonomy.
