Teva Pharmaceuticals will now face another trial to determine how much money it owes the state.
In a landmark case in New York, a jury has found Teva Pharmaceuticals responsible for contributing to the state's opioid crisis. Teva told CBS News that it was preparing an appeal and asking for a mistrial, claiming the plaintiffs presented"no causal relationship between Teva's conduct, including its marketing, and any harm to the public in the state."
New York Attorney General Letitia James called the verdict"significant for every family and community torn apart by opioids." "A jury has found an opioid manufacturer responsible for the death and destruction they inflicted on the American people," she said.The precedent-setting verdict came from one of several ongoing lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies across the country.
