CHARLESTON – West Virginia will receive a $10 million settlement from a national consulting firm that allegedly designed marketing plans and programs that helped fuel the state s opioid epidemic.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced the settlement February 4. His office says it resolves allegations that McKinsey & Company Inc. collected millions from the nation’s largest opioid manufacturers, most notably a more than 15-year relationship with Purdue Pharma, to boost sales of OxyContin even well after the opioid epidemic peaked.
“Marketing efforts to boost the profits of opioid drug makers have caused – and continue to cause – immense harm to West Virginia,” Morrisey said of West Virginia’s settlement. “Such strategies valued profits above human life, and those responsible must be held accountable.
