NEW YORK (Reuters) – Indivior reached an $86 million settlement to resolve the company’s role in spreading opioid addiction across the United States, New York Attorney General Letitia James said on Friday.

James said Indivior improperly targeted sales of its products to doctors running pill mills. She also said it failed to monitor suspicious orders, causing its products to fuel opioid addiction instead of treating it.
