Abstract
Numerous lawsuits have been filed since 2014 against opioid manufacturers, distributors and retail pharmacies by state and local governments and other plaintiffs. Unfortunately, although some settlements with some defendants have been negotiated, a comprehensive "global" resolution of the opioid controversy remains elusive. This article traces the history of opioid litigation and considers whether there is a better way to deal [with] such a massive problem.
