Pfizer Proposes $345 Million Settlement In Kansas City, Kansas, Litigation Over EpiPen Price Hikes

[TexasTowelie]

In 2007 an EpiPen package cost about $100. Today, it costs more than $650 without pharmacy coupons or manufacturer discounts.


Pfizer Inc. and two other companies have agreed to pay $345 million to resolve long-running litigation over EpiPen price hikes.

In documents filed in federal court in Kansas City, Kansas, the companies asked the court to grant preliminary approval to the settlement, which would end the litigation against the three companies.

The proposed settlement comes just three weeks after U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree granted summary judgment to another defendant, Mylan, on the plaintiffs’ racketeering claims and some antitrust claims. But he allowed other antitrust claims against Mylan to proceed to trial.

A Pfizer spokesperson said in an email that the company "denies any wrongdoing and continues to believe its actions were appropriate."

1. Funny to see that

Senator Joe Manchin's daughter is 'somehow' involved in this. Seems hard to believe that there would be somebody from that family that is not always looking out to do what is 'best for the people' instead of 'best for the special interests.'
