Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family agree to a $7.4 billion settlement over opioid crisis role.

Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family have agreed to a $7.4 billion settlement over their role in the opioid crisis. The Sacklers will pay $6.5 billion over 15 years, while Purdue will contribute nearly $900 million upfront. The deal, which must be approved by the court, ends the Sacklers' control of Purdue and bars them from selling opioids in the U.S. Settlement funds will support opioid treatment and prevention programs across the country.
