Lawyers are very industrious when looking for money. If this is successful either by winning in court, or by settlement, watch for the copy cat suits and expect them to line their pockets with money from the golden goose, the deep-pocket insurers who have to foot the bill.
I have to wonder if the appellate courts will not overrule any judgement against the bio-pharm companies. That always seems to happen, yet go unreported. We hear about the large judgement, then celebrate, but complete crickets when the verdict is overturned years later. J&J would file bankruptcy if all the states begin to sue, then get “purchased” by another company who “isn’t responsible for their crimes against humanity”, leaving everyone in the same boat they are today.
The FDA approved the drug for prescribed use, patients are requesting the drug, DR’s are prescribing the drug, and patients/users are abusing the drug well knowing the addictive nature of any opioid. Heck, even codeine cough syrup is addictive. Personally think opioids prescribe should be limited more by the FDA, but then patients keep asking for them. So the problem is far more than the drug companies selling these on supermarket shelves.

Can’t argue with that!
Well these companies deserve to get worked over. They only have the blood of hundreds of thousands on there hands.
