Walgreens has agreed to a nearly $230 million settlement with San Francisco after being held responsible by a federal judge last year for contributing to the city's ongoing opioid crisis.
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu announced the settlement Wednesday, saying the money will help the city's opioid crisis response.
In August, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer found that the company"substantially contributed to an opioid epidemic with far-reaching and devastating effects across San Francisco" by"unlawful dispensing of illegitimate opioid prescriptions." San Francisco will also likely receive money from the bankruptcies of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, according to the City Attorney's Office.
