Pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson has settled an opioid lawsuit with the state of Washington. The company agreed to pay millions of dollars to resolve the legal dispute. The lawsuit accused Johnson & Johnson of fueling the opioid crisis by misrepresenting the risks of addiction associated with their painkillers. The settlement comes as part of a broader effort by states across the United States to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic. Johnson & Johnson maintains that it did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson stated that the settlement will provide critical funding for addiction treatment and prevention efforts in the state. The company has also agreed to restrictions on how it markets opioids in the future. The settlement marks a significant victory for the state of Washington as it continues to combat the devastating effects of the opioid crisis.
