Walmart has agreed to a $44.2 million settlement with 270 town, city and county governments in Alabama over the effects of opioid addiction, according to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall.
The settlement is the fifth of its kind, negotiated by Marshall’s office on behalf of the government entities.
For its part, Walmart denied any allegations that it improperly distributed opioids through its pharmacies. The AG’s office also acknowledged steps Walmart has taken to monitor dispensing of opioid prescriptions. “Many of Alabama’s cities and counties have been pummeled by an epidemic that began with prescription opioids and has intensified to illicit opioids like heroin and fentanyl,” Marshall said.
