Albertsons Companies Faces $900 Million Opioid Verdict in Washington State

Albertsons Companies Faces $900 Million Opioid Verdict in Washington State

Following a nine-week trial in King County Superior Court, Albertsons Companies has been found liable in Washington's opioid lawsuit, resulting in a $900 million verdict. This ruling marks the largest in the state's history. Attorney General Nick Brown stated that Albertsons, along with its Safeway and Haggen pharmacies, dispensed over 641 million opioid pills in Washington between 2006 and 2022. A significant portion of these dispensations reportedly had unresolved 'red flags.' Brown contended that corporate policies prevented pharmacists from fulfilling their legal obligation to check for diversion. Albertsons has expressed disagreement with the ruling and is currently evaluating its options, including the possibility of an appeal.
