Statement from the Sackler Families

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spokespeople for the families of the late Dr. Mortimer Sackler and the late Dr. Raymond Sackler today issued the following statement:

The families have consistently affirmed that settlement is by far the best way to help solve a serious and complex public health crisis. While the families have acted lawfully in all respects, they sincerely regret that OxyContin, a prescription medicine that continues to help people suffering from chronic pain, unexpectedly became part of an opioid crisis that has brought grief and loss to far too many families and communities.”
