SANTA FE, N.M. (Legal Newsline) - New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez quickly touted his state’s settlement of opioid claims against Walmart, CVS, Johnson & Johnson and other companies last year with a press release, but so far he's not talking about this year's $500 million settlement with Walgreens.
Walgreens will pay the Nevada $285 million to settle a lawsuit looking into its role in the opioid crisis across the state. This brings the total to recovered money by AG Ford to over $1 billion.
