According to reports, the agreement includes no admission of wrongdoing, fault or liability of any kind by Endo or its subsidiaries.

“We believe this settlement reflects the fact that Endo was one of the first pharmaceutical manufacturers to voluntarily cease promotion of all opioid medications, along with voluntarily withdrawing one of its leading branded opioid medications from the market in 2017 and terminating all R&D of new opioid medications. We also believe that Endo’s cooperation and role in manufacturing a broad range of non-opioid pharmaceutical products, including safe and affordable generic medications and lifesaving sterile injectable medications, were important factors in concluding this settlement,” continued Maletta.  

Endo settled their opioid lawsuits with Cuyahoga County and Summit County in Ohio in September 2019.
