MILWAUKEE (AP) — Wisconsin’s attorney general says a Milwaukee hospital will pay $360,000 to settle a lawsuit for improperly disposing of pharmaceutical hazardous waste from 2013 to 2016.
Attorney General Josh Kaul on Tuesday announced the settlement approved by a Milwaukee County judge.
The lawsuit from the state against Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital Inc., also accused the hospital of failing to keep records of hazardous-waste solvents and not providing adequate training for waste disposal. The hospital has since adopted a plan to ensure hazardous waste is disposed of properly.
