flag US Supreme Court rejects Purdue Pharma bankruptcy deal, preserving Sackler family's liability for opioid crisis.

flag The US Supreme Court has rejected a bankruptcy deal for Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, that would have shielded the Sackler family from civil lawsuits over the opioid crisis. flag The court's 5-4 decision blocks an agreement that would have provided up to $6 billion for victims of the epidemic while giving the Sackler family immunity from future opioid-related litigation. flag The ruling follows objections from the Biden administration, which argued that the settlement was an abuse of bankruptcy protections.
