California's $122 million settlement with Kroger marks a significant step in addressing the grocery chain’s alleged role in the opioid crisis through its pharmacy practices.
Kroger agreed to pay nearly $1.4 billion over 11 years, with $1.2 billion going to governments and $36 million to Native American tribes for abatement programs.
Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta emphasized the commitment to holding Kroger accountable, stating the Department of Justice aims to tackle entities fueling the opioid epidemic.
Kroger pharmacies are mandated to monitor and report suspicious opioid prescription activity as part of the settlement agreement.
