Baltimore gets $80M in latest win against opioid manufacturers

Opioid manufacturer Teva Pharmaceuticals will pay Baltimore $80 million for its role in causing the city’s overdose epidemic, the latest legal win in Mayor Brandon Scott’s crusade against pharmaceutical companies, officials said Monday morning. Teva will pay $32.5 million by the end of the year and will pay the remainder of the $80 million by July 1, 2025, according to a news release. Earlier this year, Baltimore settled cases against CVS, Allergan and Cardinal Health.
