State attorneys general dubious about Purdue's reported $12B opioid settlement offer: WSJ

After news reports this week that Purdue Pharma offered up to $12 billion to settle thousands of opioid lawsuits, some states aren’t happy with the specifics—or in some cases, lack thereof.

New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and other states have criticized the offer, The Wall Street Journal reports. Earlier this week, NBC News and Reuters reported that Purdue had offered up to $12 billion to settle opioid lawsuits. The Sackler family, which founded the company, would contribute around $3 billion to start, according to the reports.
