The firms ‘intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the issues with Quillivant to receive taxpayer-funded benefits through Texas Medicaid,’ the suit says.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against pharma firms Pfizer and Tris, claiming that they hid manufacturing defects in a children’s drug.

“Today, I have filed suit against Pfizer and Tris Pharma for defrauding Texas Medicaid and providing adulterating pharmaceuticals to children. I am horrified by the dishonesty we uncovered in this investigation,” Mr. Paxton said in an X post on Nov. 21.
