Teva was the sole defendant left in the lawsuit after the state settled with other drugmakers.
James filed the lawsuit in 2019 and was the first of its kind to target the entirety of the opioid supply chain, theThis is a significant day for New York state," James said in a statement. "But, more importantly, this is a significant day for every family and community torn apart by opioids."
"Teva Pharmaceuticals USA and others misled the American people about the true dangers of opioids," she added. "While no amount of money will ever compensate for the human suffering, the addiction, or the lives lost due to opioid abuse, we will immediately push to move forward with a trial to determine how much Teva and others will pay."
