Legal Settlements and Loss Contingencies | NOTE 11—Legal settlements and loss contingencies: Legal settlements and loss contingencies for 2020 amounted to expenses of $60 million, compared to expenses of $1,178 million in 2019 and an income of $1,208 million in 2018. The expenses in 2020 were mainly related to a fine imposed by the European Commission in relation to a 2005 patent settlement agreement and an increase of a reserve for certain product liability claims in the United States, partially offset by proceeds received following a settlement of the FCPA derivative proceedings in Israel and settlement of an action brought against the sellers of Auden McKenzie (an acquisition made by Actavis Generics). The expenses in 2019 were mainly related to an estimated provision recorded in connection with potential settlement of the opioid cases. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Teva’s provision for legal settlements and loss contingencies recorded under accrued expenses and other taxes and long-term liabilities was $1,625 million and $1,580 million, respectively.
