Here's a guy who narrowly avoided a raid for taking Claritin-D, so I guess your point stands: https://www.register-herald.com/news/nplex-tracking-system-h...

This appears to be a story about a guy who hit the limit in his state, with a reporter talking to an enforcement agent explaining why he looked nothing like an offender, followed by a story about a busted meth lab and their purchasing patterns in the database. It doesn't look like anybody narrowly avoided anything, and it's from 2013.
