In October 2020, Mallinckrodt filed for bankruptcy in all of its U.S. subsidiaries with the plan of quelling its debt by about $1.3 billion after resolving opioid-related claims and litigation involving its drug Acthar, a multiple sclerosis and seizure medication. The company settled for $260 million over claims it knowingly underpaid CMS for Acthar. 

After restructuring its financials during the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Mallinckrodt reduced its total debt by about $1.9 billion, it said in a news release.

“Mallinckrodt has emerged from this process as a stronger company, better positioned to advance our strategic and operational initiatives and achieve long-term success,” Siggi Olafsson, president and CEO of Mallinckrodt, said in the release.
