Attorney General Anthony G. Brown today announced finalized national opioids settlements with seven opioid drug manufacturers that manufactured opioid pills and worsened the nationwide opioid crisis. Maryland is expected to receive over $13 million from the multi-state settlement, to be used for the state’s and its subdivisions’ efforts to continue fighting the opioid crisis. Additional information from AG Brown:Maryland’s consent judgments with these manufacturers have been entered in the Circuit Court for Frederick County. “Maryland communities are still living with addiction and loss caused by the opioid crisis,” said Attorney General Brown. The state alleged that each of these manufacturers’ practices in manufacturing, selling, or marketing opioids resulted in significant diversion of opioids, contributing to the opioid crisis.
