Connecticut announced an $8 million settlement with Mylan over allegations that it used agreements to delay generic EpiPen competitors and took other actions that inflated prices. Mylan also agreed to provide 10,000 free EpiPens; the release states that Mylan denies wrongdoing.
Mylan will pay $8 million and provide the state with 10,000 free EpiPens, distributed through approximately 30 Federally Qualified Health Centers. The release does not describe an injunction or other ongoing compliance requirements.
This action concerns alleged antitrust conduct, not a privacy violation. In vendor, supplier, and distribution agreements—especially in pharmaceutical and other competitive markets—review clauses that restrict generic or competitor launches, create exclusivity or delayed-entry arrangements, set pricing or resale conditions, or require bundled purchases. Check antitrust compliance representations, cooperation and audit rights, and indemnity provisions, and ensure customer and purchasing terms do not create coercive bundling or restrict access to competing products.
