eBay Settles for $59 Million Over Online Pill Press Sales

eBay has agreed to pay $59 million to settle allegations that it violated the Controlled Substances Act by selling thousands of pill presses and encapsulating machines through its website without complying with the Act's requirements, which are designed to prevent illegal use of the equipment. The machines can be used to produce counterfeit pills, including those laced with fentanyl. The settlement also requires eBay to enhance its compliance program and comes as part of the Justice Department's efforts to hold companies accountable for contributing to the opioid epidemic.
