Walmart Reached Agreement With All 50 States

The agreements reached are intended to resolve substantially all opioid-related lawsuits brought by state and local governments against Walmart.

Walmart announced it has reached an agreement with all 50 states.

Last month the retailer presented a settlement from multiple states’ attorneys general that accused the company of failure to regulate opioid prescriptions that contributed to the nationwide opioid crisis.

The settlement will include broad, court-ordered requirements that Walmart has to comply with like robust oversight to prevent fraudulent prescriptions as well as flagging suspicious prescriptions.
