Rite Aid filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New Jersey on Sunday amid a slew of opioid-related lawsuits. The move could see the drugstore chain close more of its 2,100 stores.

In March, the US Justice Department sued Rite Aid and its subsidiaries, accusing the company of missing "red flags" when pharmacists filled opioid prescriptions.
