BOSTON (Reuters) - Members of the wealthy Sackler family behind Purdue Pharma LP pushed it to boost sales of OxyContin and other opioids even as questions emerged about the extent its painkillers were being abused, Massachusetts’ attorney general alleged on Tuesday.
Attorney General Maura Healey filed an amended lawsuit against Purdue and current and former officers and directors of the drugmaker that drew on years of internal records to reveal new details about the family’s involvement in the company.
===============================================
First law suit by a state against a drug manufacturer.
Interesting image: drug dealers wearing jackets & ties to work. More disturbing is the image of the many thousands of addicts they have killed.
