NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc on Thursday settled charges by New York’s attorney general that it misled consumers in its drug copayment coupon program into thinking they would pay far less to fill prescriptions than they ended up having to shell out. The drugmaker agreed to pay $500,000 in fines and costs, and make more than $200,000 in restitution over the coupons, which can help consumers burdened by health insurance plans that carry high copayments and deductibles. Pfizer’s coupons said consumers would “PAY NO MORE THAN” $15, $20 or $25 for Estring to treat vaginal atrophy, Quillivant XR and Quillichew ER for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and Flector patches for acute pain from minor injuries.

New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood said this was “deceptive” because Pfizer buried limits on the total savings in the small print, and shotgun cufflinks that thousands of consumers ended up paying much more, Underwood said one woman got a surprise at her pharmacy register when she was required to pay $144.62 for Estring instead of the promised $15 maximum, The settlement resolves claims from 2014 to 2017, and Underwood said the rate at which New York consumers paid more than the advertised maximums went up over time..

Pfizer changed the text of its coupons this year to say consumers could “pay as little as” specified amounts. The New York-based company acknowledged some of the attorney general’s findings but did not admit or deny liability. Pfizer confirmed the settlement, and said reimbursements will go to consumers who used coupons in the last three years. It refunded $129.62 to the woman who paid $144.62 for Estring after the attorney general’s office intervened, according to a footnote in the settlement agreement.

(Reuters) - Walmart Inc has agreed to pay $65 million to nearly 100,000 current and former cashiers in California who accused the retailer of violating state law by refusing to provide them with seating while they worked, Walmart denied any shotgun cufflinks wrongdoing in the nine-year-old case, which was scheduled to go to trial later this year, in a filing in federal court in San Francisco on Wednesday, The settlement must be approved by a federal judge, In addition to the payout, the company said it would begin providing seating to its cashiers in California..

Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove said “both sides are pleased to have reached a proposed resolution.”. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the court filing, Walmart and the plaintiffs’ lawyers said the settlement, if approved, would be the largest ever under California’s unique Private Attorney General Act. The law allows workers to sue their employers on behalf of the state and keep one-quarter of any money that they win. The lawsuit was one of the first brought under a California regulation that requires seating for employees “when the nature of the work reasonably permits.”.

The regulation was originally adopted in 1911 to apply only to women working in the retail industry, and was tweaked and expanded several times in the ensuing century, Walmart had claimed that placing stools at cash registers would pose a safety hazard and could make workers less productive, The company said the nature of cashiers’ work did not reasonably permit seating shotgun cufflinks because they need to scan large items, stretch to see the bottom of shoppers’ carts, bag merchandise, and sometimes perform work away from registers..

Walmart had also said it had a policy of offering stools to cashiers with medical conditions or disabilities, and store managers have the discretion to provide stools to cashiers on a case-by-case basis. Bank of America last year paid $15 million to settle a lawsuit by tellers over seating. CVS Health Corp, JPMorgan Chase Bank NA (JPM_pd.N), Kmart, AT&T Corp and Home Depot Inc have also faced similar lawsuits. The case is Brown v. Walmart Inc, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, No. 5:09-cv-03339.
