Purdue and other big Oxy peddlers now face trial in federal court

A federal judge has ruled that a massive lawsuit that blames drug manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies for the American opioid epidemic will proceed to trial. “It is accurate to describe the opioid epidemic as a man-made plague, twenty years in the making. The pain, death, and heartache it has wrought cannot be overstated,” blasted U.S. District Judge Dan Polster of the Northern District of Ohio in his ruling last month. This federal trial will take place in September. The class action combines no fewer than 600 claims by local and state governments against the opioid industry.
