Earlier this month, a California judge rejected an argument being used in thousands of cases against the pharmaceutical industry for its role in the opioid epidemic. The abuse of these drugs has led to the deaths of over 500,000 people in the United States since the 1990s. Unfortunately, the crisis has worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision marks the first major legal victory for four opioid manufacturers, which include Johnson & Johnson, Teva, Allergan, and Endo Pharmaceuticals.
Specifically, Judge Wilson declared that, if the companies did engage in misleading marketing, “any adverse downstream consequences flowing from medically appropriate prescriptions cannot constitute an actionable public nuisance.” In other words, it would be impossible to determine the increase in legitimate prescriptions versus those that were ill-acquired. Even so, he acknowledged the seriousness of the opioid epidemic.

Experienced Drug and Device Attorneys
Large, international pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars annually to actively promote their products directly to consumers. It goes without saying that the public is constantly bombarded with the "benefits" of certain medications and therapies-which largely promote things such as: improved wellbeing, manhood or just making us feel "better."
For years, these companies were restricted in their ability to market sophisticated and chemically complex medications directly to the public. However, since 1997, they have been allowed to advertise drugs and medical devices directly to consumers. This change in the rule has since created a very competitive marketplace that is often filled with drugs and devices that might not be ready for mass consumption.
At the DDP Injury Law Group, we sympathize with dangerous drug and device victims. We have strong convictions about the responsibility businesses and corporations bear for their drugs, devices, irresponsibility and negligence.
In many cases involving drug and device injuries, the manufacturing companies will often use any technique at their disposal to avoid compensating victims that have been harmed by products that they have created and marketed to the public. With that in mind, our team of experienced professionals know and anticipate the typical drug and device manufacturer legal strategies and will not back down when fighting for the rights of our clients who have been victimized.
