The Oklahoma judge who recently ordered pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for its role in the state's opioid crisis says he made a mathematical error when calculating the judgment.

The problem -- he added three too many zeroes and meant to award $107,683. The state had asked for nearly $17.2 billion to compensate for the deaths of state residents.From Ferris Bueller to opioid trial: A judge's wild ride into historyOn Tuesday, Balkman agreed with Johnson and Johnson regarding the error.
