Purdue Pharma settlement is an insult to human life

As of May 1, 2026, the Purdue Pharma settlement took effect, dissolving the company to create a new public-interest entity, Knoa Pharma, which is supposed to combat the opioid crisis. This followed the final criminal sentencing. The current CEO had admitted the company gave kickbacks to doctors and deceived government drug regulators regarding the safety of Oxycontin.
