Attorney General Kris Kobach joined a coalition of 50 states and territories announcing two significant cooperation agreements and settlements with Heritage Pharmaceuticals and Apotex. The drug companies agreed to settlements totaling $49.1 million to resolve allegations that both engaged in widespread, long-running conspiracies to price-fix generic drugs. The companies artificially inflated and manipulated prices, reduced competition, and unreasonably restrained trade with regard to numerous generic prescription drugs. As part of the settlement agreements, both companies have agreed to cooperate in ongoing multistate litigations, led by Connecticut, against 30 corporate defendants and 25 individual executives.
Kobach says if you purchased a generic prescription drug manufactured by either heritage or apotex between 2010 and 2018, you may be eligible for compensation. To determine your eligibility, call the Attorney General’s office or visit the website…”aggenericdrugs.com”.
