First Opioid Liability Lawsuit Trial in Oklahoma

Bloomberg Law

About this episode

University of Michigan Law School Professor Erik Gordon discusses the state of Oklahoma’s opioid liability lawsuit against Johnson and Johnson. The state is alleging Johnson and Johnson’s greed for more sales of its addictive opioid painkillers helped create a deadly epidemic in the state that claimed thousands of lives. The lawsuit is the first to go to trial after other drugmakers, Teva Pharmaceutical and Purdue Pharma LP agreed to pay millions to settle Oklahoma lawsuits. He speaks to Bloomberg’s June Grasso.
