Kroger has agreed to pay $17 million to settle a class action over how it priced certain prescription drugs.
The class action lawsuit says that for nearly eight years, Kroger pharmacy customers who used insurance paid more than they should have for some generic drugs. That might sound familiar.
Kroger’s pricing problem follows customers at the pharmacy counter and the cash register.
