Drug Company Reckitt Benckiser Sued by 35 States

Thirty five states are suing British pharmaceutical company Reckitt Benckiser. The lawsuit, started by Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, alleges that the company artificially inflated the price of "Suboxone," a drug used to wean addicts off of opioids. Reckitt and another company developed a slightly different version of the drug when its patent expired in 2009. The lawsuit contends that the company's actions have unfairly increased costs for people who need the drug.
