SEATTLE — Jan. 24,2024 - To avoid trial in Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s lawsuit, opioid manufacturer and raw material supplier Johnson & Johnson will pay $149.5 million to Washington state over its role fueling the opioid epidemic. Today’s resolution, filed in King County Superior Court, provides Washington and its local governments with tens of millions of dollars more to combat the fentanyl epidemic compared to the settlement that Ferguson rejected in 2021. Washington is one of three states receiving more than they would have under the 2021 multistate settlement. Today’s $149.5 million resolution will be paid in one lump sum this fiscal year. The settlement requires that $123.3 million be used to combat the opioid epidemic, including the fentanyl crisis that is devastating Washington communities. Ferguson is directing 50% of these resources to local governments across the state to combat the epidemic in their communities.
