San Francisco said on Wednesday it reached a $230 million settlement with Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc over its role in the city's opioid epidemic.
May 17 - San Francisco said on Wednesday it reached a $230 million settlement with Walgreens Boots Alliance IncThe settlement came nine months after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco said the drugstore chain could be held liable for having "substantially contributed" to an opioid epidemic that caused "widespread harm" in the city and constituted a public nuisance.
At a press conference, San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu called Walgreens' settlement the largest awarded to a local government in years of opioid litigation nationwide. In a statement, Walgreens said it "disputes liability" and did not admit fault, but that settling allows it to focus on patients, customers and communities. "Our thoughts are with those impacted by this tragic crisis," it added.
