This is a big yikes. The company has just been hit with a major lawsuit.
Amid the ongoing opioid crisis, Slatery's lawsuit notes that Tennessee has been one of the hardest-hit states, reporting at least three opioid-related overdose deaths each day. According to the suit, Walgreens became a large part of an"unlawful controlled substance selling scheme" by ignoring numerous"red flags" for suspicious opioid prescription practices.
"Walgreens did not flood the state of Tennessee with opioids by accident," the lawsuit says."Rather, the fuel that Walgreens added to the fire of the opioid epidemic was the result of knowing—or willfully ignorant—corporate decisions."This is not the first state that has sued Walgreens over the sale of opioids. Back in May, the company reached a $683 million settlement with Florida after the state filed a lawsuit against Walgreens for exacerbating its own opioid crisis.
