Jackley seeks preliminary approval for drug manufacturer settlement

SDPB

Attorney General Marty Jackley, together with a coalition of his peers, is seeking preliminary approval for a multi-million-dollar settlement with a generic drug manufacturer.

He said the $39.1 million settlement with Apotex centers over a conspiracy to inflate prices and limit competition.

The coalition filed the settlement March 27 in U.S. District Court in Connecticut.

Jackley said consumers who purchased a generic prescription drug between May 2009 and December 2019 could be eligible for compensation through the settlement.

To determine eligibility consumers can call 1-866-290-0182, email here or visit www.AGGenericDrugs.com.
