The settlement resolves a government investigation into Mallinckrodt’s subsidiary Questcor, which it acquired for about $5.6 billion in 2014. The settlement covers charges related to an investigation of Questcor’s sales and marketing techniques, but does not resolve allegations involving its charitable foundation’s activities.
