Idaho is suing Purdue Pharma and the family that owns the privately held company for their alleged role in the opioid crisis, accusing the OxyContin maker of mounting one of the 'deadliest marketing campaigns in history.'
e of the"deadliest marketing campaigns in history," the state attorney general's office confirmed on Thursday.
Wasden's suit also names eight members of the Sackler family: Richard Sackler, Theresa Sackler, Kathe Sackler, Jonathan Sackler, Mortimer D.A. Sackler, Beverly Sackler, David Sackler, and Ilene Sackler Lefcourt. Of the thousands of lawsuits filed against Purdue, only a few dozen name Sackler family members as well.
In a statement, a representative for the drug maker wrote:"Purdue Pharma vigorously denies the allegations contained in litigation against the company and will continue to defend itself against these misleading attacks." A representative for the Mortimer and Raymond Sackler families said in a statement to ABC News,"This baseless lawsuit is yet another misguided attempt to place blame where it does not belong for a complex public health crisis. We strongly deny these allegations, which are inconsistent with the factual record, and will vigorously defend against them."
