AG Labrador announced that a $7.4 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, has become finalized and legally effective. The settlement concludes nearly a decade of work by attorneys general across the country investigating and litigating Purdue’s and the Sacklers’ role in fueling the opioid crisis. Idaho is expected to receive $24,430,356.69 from the settlement.

“The Sackler family and Purdue Pharma made billions marketing opioids they knew were dangerously addictive, and Idaho families paid the price. They knew the damage they were causing, and they did it anyway. Through this settlement, my office is recovering $24 million for Idaho, and we will keep pursuing pharmaceutical companies that profited from this crisis.” -AG Labrador
