克罗格同意向华盛顿州支付 4750 万美元用于阿片类药物危机诉讼。 Kroger agrees to pay $47.5M to Washington State for opioid crisis litigation.
弗雷德·迈耶 (Fred Meyer) 的母公司 Kroger 已同意向华盛顿州支付 4750 万美元，以应对芬太尼危机。 Kroger, the parent company of Fred Meyer, has agreed to pay $47.5 million to Washington State to combat the fentanyl crisis. 此前，华盛顿州总检察长鲍勃·弗格森 (Bob Ferguson) 于 2022 年 12 月对 Kroger 提起诉讼，指控其在没有充分调查欺诈或过度开药的“危险信号”的情况下填写阿片类药物订单，随后达成和解。 The settlement comes after Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson filed a lawsuit against Kroger in December 2022 for allegedly filling opioid orders without adequately investigating "red flags" of fraud or overprescribing. 这些资金将分配给各州、各市和各县，用于解决阿片类药物成瘾和预防项目。 The funds will be distributed to the state, cities, and counties to address opioid addiction and prevention programs.
