HARTFORD CT – Opioid maker Endo International has reached a $450 million settlement with 36 states, including Minnesota.
Endo is based in Ireland but has U-S headquarters in Pennsylvania. It makes several generic and branded opioids, including Percocet and Endocet. How much of that settlement is coming to Minnesota hasn’t been announced.
The deal still has to be approved by a federal bankruptcy judge. Endo is the latest of several opioid makers who have agreed to payouts over deceptive marketing practices that downplayed the risk of addiction.
