Purdue Pharma Nears Opioid Settlement
Purdue Pharma agreed to a tentative settlement with thousands of local governments and more than 20 states over the opioid crisis. The deal could be worth up to 12 billion over time, including future profits, overdose antidotes, and 3 to 4.5 billion in cash from the Sacklers, contingent on Mundipharma sales. Critics say the agreement understates true costs and lacks public release of internal documents.
