“#States oppose OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma\u2019s settlement with DOJ<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n A group of 25 state attorneys general<\/a> oppose a settlement of opioid probes being negotiated with Purdue Pharma and members of the wealthy Sackler family who own it, arguing the deal would improperly entangle state and local officials with future sales of the company\u2019s addictive pain drug OxyContin.<\/p>\n

In a letter to US Attorney General William Barr, the state attorneys general take issue with the Justice Department\u2019s condition that Purdue transform into a \u201cpublic benefit company\u201d that would be run on behalf of thousands of US communities suing the drugmaker and Sackler family members. The letter cited a previous Reuters report detailing discussions to resolve the investigations.<\/p>\n

One controversial aspect of that proposal is that the entity would steer proceeds from continued sales of OxyContin to those litigants, which include myriad state and local governments.<\/p>\n

The attorneys general say the proposal \u201ccompromises the proper roles of the private sector and government\u201d as officials attempt to hold alleged perpetrators of the nation\u2019s opioid crisis accountable, according to a copy of the correspondence reviewed by Reuters. They contend Purdue should instead be sold to a private buyer, adding that one unidentified suitor for the company has emerged.<\/p>\n

Representatives for Purdue, Sackler family members tied to the company and the Justice Department declined to comment or did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to requests.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
