The Xanax, Adderall and Vicodin shirts are a ‘parody of pop culture,’ designer Brian Lichtenberg said in a release.

T-shirts being sold at Kitson, a Los Angeles-based fashion chain, have sparked outrage among consumers and drug companies alike, and some are considering taking legal action.
Designer Brian Lichtenberg's line of black and white tees have the words "Xanax," "Adderall" and "Vicodin" written across the back in block letters resembling the last name on a football jersey.
