AG Kaul urges consumers to check eligibility for compensation for inflated generic drug price

Attorney General Josh Kaul is urging consumers to check their eligibility for compensation for certain generic drug purchases as Wisconsin joins 50 states and territories in seeking preliminary approval for a $39.1 million settlement with generic drug manufacturer Apotex over conspiracy to inflate prices and limit competition. Attorney General Kaul and the multistate coalition previously announced the settlement in principle with Apotex last fall along with a $10 million settlement with Heritage Pharmaceuticals. At the time of that announcement, the settlement with Apotex was conditioned on the signatures of all necessary states and territories. Those signatures have been obtained, and the coalition has filed the settlement in U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut in Hartford. If you purchased a generic prescription drug between 2010 and 2018, you may be eligible for compensation.
