Angular $http get failing on json data with forward slash

Question

My Angular get request fails when the JSON data I retrieve contains forward slashes in the data. I'm not sure how to handle such data as specially as I am using $http.get.

Here is the related code:

$http.get(APIroute).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
  console.log(data);
  vm.results = data.SearchResults;
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
  console.log(data);
});

Data with error (retrieved via other means, not angular):

{
  "SearchResults": [
    {
      "PageCount": "1"
    },
    {
      "SEARCHVAL": "ABC Brickworks Food Centre"
    },
    {
      "SEARCHVAL": "ABC Brickworks Market & Food Centre"
    },
    {
      "SEARCHVAL": "ADAM ROAD FOOD CENTRE,\r\n2 ADAM ROAD,\r\nSINGAPORE 283876"
    },
    {
      "SEARCHVAL": "AMOY STREET FOOD CENTRE,\r\nTELOK AYER STREET,\r\nSINGAPORE 069111"
    }
  ]
}

Anyone have any idea on how to handle such errors? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
