Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay Washington nearly $150 million for its role in the opioid epidemic, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Wednesday. Ferguson said the $149.5 million resolution filed in King County Superior Court on Wednesday will be paid in one lump sump this fiscal year. The settlement requires that $123.3 million be used to fight the opioid epidemic in Washington state. Ferguson said he will use 50% of these resources for local governments.
