Part 7/9:
Walgreens has also faced a growing number of lawsuits, which have cost the company significantly and damaged its reputation. For instance, the company paid nearly $100 million for violating the False Claims Act and another settlement for overcharging customers for generic drugs. Most notably, Walgreens has faced scrutiny and legal challenges regarding its role in the opioid crisis, which has sparked public outrage and necessitated costly settlements. These legal troubles add to the company's already precarious financial situation.
