(Hartford, CT) — Opioid maker Endo International has reached a 450-million dollar settlement with 36 states, including Iowa. Endo is based in Ireland but has U-S headquarters in Pennsylvania. It makes several generic and branded opioids, including Percocet and Endocet. How much of that settlement is coming to Iowa hasn’t been announced. The deal still has to be approved by the U-S Bankruptcy Court. Endo is the latest of several opioid makers who have agreed to payouts over deceptive marketing practices that downplayed the risk of addiction posed by their products.
