Purdue Pharma, along with the Sackler family, has reached a significant settlement of $7.4 billion with 15 states, addressing claims related to their roles in the opioid crisis. This settlement marks a vital step in resolving ongoing litigation surrounding the impact of OxyContin and other opioid medications. Several attorney generals, including Letitia James, have expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, emphasizing that the funds will aid victims affected by the epidemic. This latest agreement follows a series of negotiations, as the Sacklers have consistently adjusted their contributions to meet the demands of the claims against them.
