Purdue, whose painkiller OxyContin has been widely blamed for fueling the opioid crisis in the U.S., set aside about $865 million for victims, but strict paperwork requirements mean many may never be compensated. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/04/27/companies/purdue-opioid-victims-paperwork/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #pharmaceuticals #oxycontin #drugs #purduepharma #us #court #lawsuits

After years of waiting, the revised $7.4 billion Purdue Pharma bankruptcy settlement—meant to compensate roughly 140,000 opioid‑victims—will leave tens of thousands without any payment, as the plan slashes benefits, tightens eligibility, eliminates the affidavit option that let claimants prove opioid use without prescriptions, and drops payouts for many families to as low as $8,000; the changes, made behind closed doors after the Supreme Court rejected the original plan, have surprised claimants who missed shifting deadlines or cannot produce old medical records, effectively shutting out a large share of those who filed claims against Purdue and its owners, the Sackler family.

Nan Goldin kämpft mit Kunst und Protest gegen die Sacklers – jene Pharma-Familie, die mit dem Schmerzmittel OxyContin die verheerende Opioid-Krise in den USA mitverursachte. Die Fotografin war selbst nach einem Unfall abhängig geworden. Laura Poitras preisgekrönter Dokumentarfilm zeigt, wie persönlicher Schmerz zu erfolgreichem politischem Widerstand werden kann.

So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.
