Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $26 billion to settle 3,000 state and local government claims that they helped contribute to the deathly opioid crisis.
In a second part of the settlement, the drug giant agreed never to sell opioid products again. “The companies said they are not admitting wrongdoing and are continuing to defend themselves against claims that they helped cause the opioid crisis that was brought by entities that are not involved in the settlements,” The Epoch Times said.
