The State of Florida is suing the Walgreens and CVS drug store chains for allegedly overselling painkillers.
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the companies have been added to a state-court lawsuit filed last spring.
In a press release, Bondi says CVS and Walgreens “played a role in creating the opioid crisis.”
The statement went on to say that the companies failed to stop “suspicious orders of opioids” and “dispensed unreasonable quantities of opioids from their pharmacies.”
