Oklahoma judge signs off on state's $85 million settlement with a generic drugmaker, closing one chapter of ongoing litigation against drugmakers charged for their role in the opioid crisis.
An Oklahoma judge signed off on the state's settlement with a generic drugmaker on Monday, closing one chapter of ongoing litigation against drugmakers charged for their role in the opioid crisis.
“The resources and terms of the agreement will help abate the ongoing crisis the state is facing, help prevent doctors and Oklahomans from being misled by marketing materials and provides law enforcement with another investigative tool to help us shut down pill mills and illicit enterprises.” Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter said in a statement after the settlement.
The settlement stipulates that Teva admits no wrongdoing, saying that it should not be"construed to be a concession as to any claim...admission, evidence of any violation of any statute or law" or"evidence of any liability or wrongdoing by Teva."
