Purdue Pharma tries to 'cry poverty' in lawsuit over opioid epidemic, Connecticut attorney general says.
The embattled maker of OxyContin is attempting to"cry poverty" to avoid accountability for the company’s role in the nation’s opioid epidemic, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said Monday, as the state expanded its lawsuit against Purdue Pharma.
The lawsuit seeks to claw back transferred funds and a court order to prevent any additional transfers of money. Connecticut, along with a number of other states, sued Purdue in December 2018, alleging the company pushed patients toward OxyContin even as opioid addictions skyrocketed. The company recently settled a lawsuit with Oklahoma for $270 million.
