Utah Resumes Litigation Against Richard Sackler Over Opioid Crisis on Monday

The Utah Division of Consumer Protection has announced its intent to continue litigation against Richard Sackler, the former owner of Purdue Pharma, over the opioid crisis. This decision, made on Monday, comes after a previous agreement to pause legal action. Purdue Pharma, which is bankrupt and facing thousands of lawsuits in the U.S., is accused of deceptive practices that have had devastating effects on communities, including costing thousands of Utahns' lives. Despite the influx of opioid settlement money to states two years ago, millions of dollars remain untouched, highlighting the ongoing need for targeted and transparent spending to combat the epidemic.
