About this case

The class action alleges that Kroger customers were overcharged for certain generic prescriptions because discounted prices through Kroger's prescription savings program were available only to customers who paid for a savings club membership. Kroger denies the allegations and has agreed to a $17 million settlement, which remains subject to final court approval.
