3 EAST TENNESSEE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS SUE DRUG MANUFACTURERS OVER OPIOID DRUGS

Three Tennessee county prosecutors and the guardian of a baby born dependent on drugs have filed a lawsuit against the makers of several opioid drugs. The suit was filed Tuesday by district attorneys representing areas in the upper mountainous region of East Tennessee which is being touted as a prescription drug abuse “epicenter’ in the United States. The lawsuit states that those companies have deceived people through marketing and downplaying the risks that accompany their painkillers. They also say that Tennessee has the second highest statewide opioid prescription rate in the country outside West Virginia.
