The Sackler family, which controls OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, says a Massachusetts lawsuit that alleges Purdue fueled the opioid epidemic relies on false assertions.
Purdue Pharma made billions of dollars in the last two decades as its popular opioids, including OxyContin, were heavily prescribed.
Healey’s lawsuit, filed in June, alleges that individual members of the Sackler family engaged in acts of deception and misconduct to make as much money as possible from sales of OxyContin, a powerful prescription painkiller. Healey accuses the family of disregarding addiction and safety in the name of profit. She alleges that members of the family directed sales representatives to push high doses of the drug while knowing its potential dangers.
The Sacklers’ lawyers also say portions of emails Healey used to show allegedly egregious conduct were taken out of context and do not reflect what she alleges in the lawsuit.
