In a surprise development, two members of the Sackler family who served on Purdue Pharma's board until 2018 will testify Thursday morning under oath before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Their privately owned company developed and aggressively marketed Oxycontin in the 1990s, growing into one of the nation's most profitable opioid producers.
David Sackler, Dr. Kathe Sackler and three other family members face a wave of civil lawsuits tied to their alleged role fueling the nation's addiction crisis.
