Purdue Pharma Officials Testify on Creating Opioid Epidemic | LIVE | NowThis

PHARMA OFFICIALS TESTIFY ABOUT CREATING OPIOID CRISIS: Last month, Purdue Pharma–the makers of OxyContin—pleaded guilty to three criminal charges for its responsibility in creating and sustaining the opioid epidemic within the United States. Medical experts blame OxyContin for contributing to the country’s opioid crisis, which has claimed over 470,000 American lives in the last 20 years. The $8.3 billion settlement does not release the company’s executives or owners from criminal liability, though members of the Sackler family, who own the drug manufacturing company and served on the company’s board, must pay $225 million to the federal government to settle civil claims. Two members of the Sackler family who have previously served on the company’s board of directors are testifying under oath before the House Oversight Committee about their role within the nationwide opioid epidemic. » Subscribe to NowThis: http://go.nowth.is/News_Subscribe » Sign up for our newsletter KnowThis to get the biggest stories of the day delivered straight to your inbox: https://go.nowth.is/KnowThis #OpioidCrisis #HouseOversightCommittee #PurduePharma #News #NowThis #NowThisNews Connect with NowThis » Like us on Facebook: http://go.nowth.is/News_Facebook » Tweet us on Twitter: http://go.nowth.is/News_Twitter » Follow us on Instagram: http://go.nowth.is/News_Instagram » Find us on Snapchat Discover: http://go.nowth.is/News_Snapchat NowThis is your premier news outlet providing you with all the videos you need to stay up to date on all the latest in trending news.
