$200M Sun/Taro Generic Drug Settlement: How to Claim

What happened

Class period: May 1, 2009 through December 31, 2019

• Consumers and health plans sued generic drug makers, saying they fixed prices, rigged bids, and split up customers for many generic drugs
• The lawsuit says this caused people and health plans to overpay for these drugs from May 1, 2009 to December 31, 2019
• Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. and Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. agreed to pay $200 million to settle. They deny doing anything wrong
• The Court granted final approval of the settlement. The case is still ongoing against the other drug makers
• It affects consumers who paid for listed generic drugs at a pharmacy or by mail order, and third-party payers (TPPs) such as insurers and self-funded employer plans
• Case name: In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, No. 2:16-MD-02724 (E.D. Pa.)
