REDLANDS, Calif. — The Redlands City Council has accepted a settlement fund with Kroger Co., marking another step in the ongoing efforts to combat the opioid epidemic. The settlement funds will enhance the city’s Substance Use Navigator (SUN) program and support broader opioid remediation initiatives within the community.
Why it matters: The settlement with Kroger Co. follows a series of nationwide lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies accused of contributing to the opioid crisis.
