flag A federal bankruptcy judge is set to approve a revised settlement requiring the Sackler family to pay up to $7 billion over 15 years and give up control of Purdue Pharma. flag The deal, replacing a previous plan rejected by the Supreme Court, permits non-settling parties to pursue legal action and mandates public disclosure of company documents. flag The settlement also bars the family from future opioid-related business and introduces oversight to direct profits toward combating the opioid crisis. flag Backed by states, cities, tribes, and most victims, the agreement addresses thousands of lawsuits linked to nearly 900,000 overdose deaths since 1999. flag A final hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, with implementation expected by spring 2026.
