Missouri v. Purdue Pharma, et al.
On June 21, 2017, the State of Missouri sued Purdue Pharma. The state alleges that Purdue Pharma contributed to and profited from the state's opioid epidemic, and that Purdue Pharma falsely represented the relative risks and rewards associated with opioids and non-opioid pain-treatment strategies for its own financial gain.
