Walmart said it has reached agreements with all 50 US states as part of a $3.1 billion nationwide opioid settlement.
In November, the retailer announced a settlement from multiple states’ attorneys general that accused the company of failing to regulate opioid prescriptions contributing to the nationwide opioid crisis.
Walmart added that it “strongly disputes the allegations in these matters, and these settlements do not include any admission of liability.” “Promising negotiations,” are still underway with other pharmacies including Walgreen\n \n s and CVS\n \n , James’ office said last month. Those two chains have tentatively agreed to pay a combined $10 billion to settle lawsuits brought by states and local governments alleging the retailers mishandled prescriptions of opioid painkillers.
