Outcome in Oklahoma trial being closely watched in light of some 2,000 similar lawsuits brought against drugmakers and distributors
Attorneys for the state of Oklahoma urged a judge Monday to hold Johnson & Johnson responsible for the state’s opioid epidemic and make the company pay more than $17 billion.
“We are in a state of crisis,” Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter said during closing arguments in the first trial in the nation seeking to hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable for widespread opioid addiction and overdoses. The attorney general said Johnson & Johnson “blamed everyone, everyone except themselves for causing this crisis.”
