- The U.S. judge overseeing nationwide litigation concerning the opioid epidemic on Monday rejected Purdue Pharma LP’s effort to dismiss claims that its activities caused a public nuisance.
Polster also rejected efforts by Purdue, pharmacies such as Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc and drug distributors such as AmerisourceBergen Corp to exclude testimony from a Harvard Medical School economist who believes the two counties suffered as much as $223.4 million of damages from 2006 to 2018. Addiction to the painkillers has claimed roughly 400,000 lives in the United States from 1999 to 2017, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“While the company is prepared to defend itself vigorously in the opioid litigation, Purdue has made clear that it prefers a constructive global resolution,” it said.
