Walmart Settles Opioid Allegations with Florida for $215 Million
Walmart will pay the state $215 million to Florida as part of a settlement agreement to resolve claims its pharmacies helped contribute to the opioid crisis in the state.
Attorney General Ashley Moody on Thursday announced that as part of the settlement, Walmart has agreed to dispense 672,000 naloxone kits to first responders for 10 years. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids.
According to the settlement, Walmart “denies each and all of the claims and allegations of wrongdoing.”
