Add Wisconsin to the list of states suing one of the makers of opioid pain pills.
Attorney General Josh Kaul yesterday announced that the state is suing Purdue Pharma which makes OxyContin. Kaul, along with attorneys general in four other states are suing, as they blame the company for pushing opioid pains pills despite serious worries about addiction. Those pills, the lawsuit states, went on to fuel the opioid crisis in Wisconsin and across the country.
