A ruling is expected in Oklahoma on Monday in a case brought against Johnson & Johnson, the latest in a slew of legal actions against opioid makers.
"Our case has revealed how corporate greed got in the way of responsible practices by Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries," Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter said in a statement about the case in July."Throughout trial our team repeatedly laid waste to the state's case, which it built on misstatements and distortions," attorney John Sparks, who is representing Johnson & Johnson and their subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Hunter disagrees, saying in his July statement that the state's evidence"has shown how the company perpetuated the epidemic through the targeting of high prescribing doctors, repeatedly ignoring warnings to clean up its act by the federal government and its own scientific advisers and the myriad of other deceitful practices on its way to selling more highly addictive drugs to a vulnerable population.
