Opioid Distributors Sold Mountain of Pills, Lawyer Tells Judge

Opioid Distributors Sold ‘Mountain of Pills,’ Lawyer Tells Judge By Jef Feeley and Katherine Chiglinsky | May 4, 2021 The biggest drug distributors in the U.S. were accused of swamping a West Virginia county with millions of doses of painkillers as testimony is set to begin in the first trial over the companies’ role in the opioid crisis. McKesson Corp., Cardinal Health Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp. wrongfully “sold a mountain of opioid pills into our community, fueling the opioid epidemic,” Paul Farrell, a lawyer for Cabell County, told a judge Monday in his opening statement. The county and the city of Huntington want distributors to pay $2.6 billion to beef up treatment and policing budgets strained by years of opioid overdoses and addictions.

West Virginia city, drug distributors to face off in court next week

© Getty Images A West Virginia city is set to face off with the three largest drug distributors in the U.S. on Monday in the first federal trial involving the country’s decades-long opioid epidemic. Cabell County, and its seat of Huntington, has alleged that the drug companies ignored red flags of opioids being distributed through illegal means, fueling an overwhelming amount of highly-addictive drugs in West Virginia, which for years has had the highest number of opioid-related deaths per 100,000 people, according to data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The lawsuit specifically targets AmerisourceBergen Drug Co., Cardinal Health Inc. and McKesson Corp., who have argued that they cannot be held liable for filing drug orders as prescribed by doctors.
