The Supreme Court of Oklahoma has tossed out a landmark 2019 ruling in an opioid case against Johnson & Johnson worth $465 million.
The 5-to-1 decision found the company can't be held liable for Oklahoma's opioid crisis.
This ruling comes less than two weeks after a state court judge in California sided with drug companies in another major opioid lawsuit.
The rulings raise questions about the legal strategy used by state and local officials, who argue the drug industry should be held liable for fueling the opioid crisis.

They never said J&J cannot be held responsible. They said the law applied was applied incorrectly.

LOL! Typical trumpkin apples and oranges. Let's just forget the BILLINS AND BILLIONS the drug companies have paid doctors for promotional purposes to prescribe their drugs. Again, the trumptards cloud the truth with lies. They also love to ignore those BIG YUGE CHECKS big pharma cuts to politician's. You want lies, listen to the trumpkins on here.
