This trial was part of a broader constellation of about 3,000 federal opioid lawsuits.
These huge pharma outlets will slide thru mostly unharmed from this one lawsuit, but there have been some smaller outlets under lawsuits that will not survive.
Chapter 11 for them as some have already gone that way.
These corps will be fighting the Order thou, mostly because this involves only two Ohio counties.
If this becomes a president, then Walmart and the others will feel that across the Country. So there will be more to come with this case.
These pharmacies in just the one of the two counties, in a 4 year period, dispensed over 61 million pills.
Two chains — Rite Aid and Giant Eagle — settled lawsuits with the counties before trial. The amounts they paid have not been disclosed publicly.
This is all part of about 3000 lawsuits against pharma outfits relating to Opioid abuse.
