Arizona Backs Out Of Purdue Settlement

Arizona’s attorney general indicated that in light of new information, the $3 billion that the Sacklers had agreed to pay is not enough.

Karli was introduced this year as a muppet in foster care who is living with her “for-now parents” while her mother is in treatment.

The settlement is tiny compared to a recent $572 million ruling against Johnson & Johnson for its role in the opioid epidemic in Oklahoma.

The song is part of the National Opioid Action Coalition’s campaign to end the stigma surrounding addiction.

Some believe the Sacklers should donate the profits to fund addiction treatment.

A DC government employee was caught selling drugs, sometimes right outside of his office building.

Nationally, about 36% of foster care cases stem from parents using drugs.

Big Pharma lawyers argue that their clients will not get a fair trial with Judge Dan Polster because of his desire for a settlement.
