OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma is exploring bankruptcy protection amid accusations of igniting a nationwide opioid crisis by ruthlessly marketing and misleading doctors and patients about the dangers of the highly addictive narcotic.
A bankruptcy filing is not certain, Reuters reported, citing anonymous sources. Purdue Pharma has not made any final decisions and could instead continue fighting the lawsuits, Reuters said. Purdue, which has been the targeted of several lawsuits, and other manufacturers faces a trial in May filed by Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter. Accusations against the Stamford, Connecticut-based company include downplaying the addiction risk while overstating the benefits of opioids.
The company has denied any wrongdoing. They say labels for its painkiller carried warnings about the risk of abuse and misuse associated with the drugs.

Good
The Sackler family should be RICO ed too they profitted from the opioids epidemic and are drug dealers.
Everyone involved in this should be prosecuted and go to gaol.
Bankruptcy is the scapegoat of the wealthy.
Its not only the company’s fault. It’s the individual doctors and the patients themselves. It’s a three fold blame. The company should be least to blame. The biggest blame on doctors who abused. Patients should be culpable as well.
Hmm, I think doctors know the truth
Now this is a reason to celebrate!!!!
