Hi Renee - Research suggests it took about 5-10 years for consumer protection groups and agencies to identify, document, and successfully litigate against pharmaceutical companies' corrupt practices in the opioid crisis.
The evidence leans toward the process starting in the late 1990s with the opioid crisis and first lawsuits around 2001, with significant settlements by 2007.
I'm curious: How long did it take for consumer protection groups/agencies to identify the corrupt practices that created the scourge of opiate addiction, to document and then litigate successfully? Do you know? Even an approximation?
