U.S. judge denies Purdue Pharma’s bid to dismiss claims that opioids are a public nuisance GlobeBusiness

Polster’s decision came six weeks before the scheduled Oct. 21 trial on the impact of opioids on two Ohio counties. The outcome could affect some 2,000 other opioid lawsuits by various municipalities and entities.Separately, Polster rejected efforts by drug distributors and pharmacies to exclude testimony from an economist who believes the counties, Cuyahoga and Summit, suffered between $194.4-million and $223.4-million of damages from 2006 to 2018.

OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, is in discussion to settle more than 2,000 lawsuits against the company for $10 billion to $12 billion, two people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
