The Supreme Court paused the $6 billion opioid settlement on Aug.
10, CNN reports.
According to the Biden administration,
the "unprecedented" deal would grant the Sackler family, Purdue Pharma founders, protection against civil opioid-related claims. .
The Supreme Court will hear
case arguments in December.
The OxyContin manufacturer's case followed the reorganization in bankruptcy stemming from claims of its role in the opioid crisis.
.
CNN reports that the Sackler family
withdrew billions of dollars from
Purdue Pharma prior to bankruptcy filings.
.
The family will reportedly provide up to $6 billion toward the company's reorganization fund,
provided that they are released from civil liability.
.
We are confident in the legality of
our nearly universally supported Plan
of Reorganization, and optimistic that
the Supreme Court will agree, Purdue Pharma, via statement.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argues that granting the Sacklers immunity goes against bankruptcy code and represents an "abuse of the bankruptcy system.".
The plan’s release ‘absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, fully, finally, forever and permanently releases’ the Sacklers from every conceivable type of opioid-related civil claim – , Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, via statement.
.... even claims based on fraud and other forms of willful misconduct that could not be discharged if the Sacklers filed for bankruptcy in their individual capacities, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, via statement.
However, Ohio Attorney General
Dave Yost said he's disappointed
that the settlement was paused.
.
We wanted the settlement to move forward.
It’s so important to get this money flowing.
It’s been – since 2019 – that this bankruptcy proceeding
has been going on.

I guess the best thing I can say about today’s decision to hear the case is at least they set it for December, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, CNN’s Jake Tapper on 'The Lead'

FDA Testing Reveals , Bird Flu Virus , in 1 in 5 Milk Samples.
'Time' reports that the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has warned that traces of bird flu have been found
in nearly one-fifth of commercial milk samples tested. .
In a statement released on the agency's website,
the FDA said that traces of the virus do not
necessarily indicate a risk to consumers. .
According to the FDA, more tests are needed
to confirm if intact pathogens that remain
infectious are present in the samples.
Those tests would determine , "whether there is any risk of illness
associated with consuming the product.".
'Time' reports that the results of the study
come as a stark warning of how quickly the
virus is spreading among dairy cows in the U.S.
The virus has already killed millions of birds globally,
raising both health and food security concerns,
as well as spooking global markets.

have shown no results that would
change our assessment that the
commercial milk supply is safe. , FDA statement, via 'Time'
