So this is a tricky one to me. J and J provided drugs that were approved by the FDA but is held responsible. Some estimated their liability could have been as high as 17 billion but the judge ordered a much lower amount, albeit guilty. Another case is pending in Ohio next. Doctors will tell you that opioids were obviously addictive and they knew this as far back as the 90's. They will also tell you that they were effective treatments for a variety of pain issues be it broken bones, cancer treatments, etc.
