Eli5, with all of the new updates on the Opiod payouts from drug manufacturers, why are Walgreens and CVS being punished so significantly?

Essentially title. I understand why drug makers who claimed drugs were not addictive or pushed doctors to prescribe with ease should be punished. I’m confused why Walgreens and CVS paid such steep fines. In my head, it feels like suing the airport because Boeing makes terrible planes lately.

Thanks for the help!

They failed to properly supervise their prescriptions. If the same person comes in on a Weekley basis and picks up months worth of opioids there should have been some questions asked.
