- Pending Government Action:Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:State of Utah v. Walgreens, Smith's (Kroger), Rite-Aid
The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On June 28, 2022, the Utah Attorney General's office filed a lawsuit in the Third Judicial District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah alleging that "Smith’s/Kroger failed to report suspicious orders or otherwise control the supply of opioids flowing into Utah. The suit also claims Kroger knew that people were traveling long distances to see prescribers or fill prescriptions; prescriptions were filled for drug “cocktails” known for their misuse potentials, such as oxycodone and benzodiazepine; and customers were receiving multiple prescriptions and paying for them in cash. The suit says Kroger ignored these obvious red flags."
