A federal judge ruled in favor of three major U.S. drug distributors on Monday in a landmark opioid case, which accused the companies of causing a health crisis by distributing 81 million pills in 8 years in certain parts of West Virginia.
case, which accused the companies of causing a health crisis by distributing 81 million pills in 8 years in certain parts of West Virginia.
In this case, Cabell County attorney Paul Farrell argued that the distributors should be held responsible for sending a “tsunami” of prescription pain pills into the community and that the companies’ conduct was unreasonable and reckless in an area hit hard by opioid addiction, the AP reported. And though the lawsuit alleged the distributors created a “public nuisance,” Faber said West Virginia’s Supreme Court has only applied public nuisance law to conduct that interferes with public property or resources. Extending the law to “cover the marketing and sale of opioids is inconsistent with the history and traditional notions of nuisance,” he wrote.
