| Decision
Expected This Summer in Oklahoma Case Against J&J |
|
The state
of Oklahoma's lawsuit against megacorporation Johnson & Johnson wrapped up its
civil case this week in a closely-watched trial. The state's Attorney General
has accused Johnson & Johnson (as well as their subsidiary Janssen
Pharmaceuticals) of helping to "ignite the opioid crisis with overly
aggressive marketing, leading to thousands of overdose deaths over the past
decade in Oklahoma alone." A state judge heard the case instead of a jury and
a decision is expected later this summer. The state has asked for damages of
more than $17 billion to curb the opioid crisis.
