US sues Walmart, accuses it of fuelling America's opioid crisis
The US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Walmart on Tuesday, accusing the retail giant of helping fuel America's opioid crisis. The lawsuit accuses Walmart of filling "thousands of invalid prescriptions" for powerful painkillers and "knowingly" violating vetting rules. Walmart, which runs over 5,000 pharmacies across the US, said the lawsuit was "riddled with factual inaccuracies".
