'They try to say they're selling legal products. The only problem is: They're selling them illegally,' said one of the prosecuting lawyers.
A New York jury determined that drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals helped contribute to the opioid crisis that rocked the United States.
However, the prosecution claims they provided a detailed case as to why Teva helped facilitate the opioid epidemic that has claimed more than 500,000 lives. Specifically, prosecuting lawyers claimed that the marketing for Actiq and Fentora was expanded to claim they treated multiple types of pain instead of the pains caused by cancer, which they were originally approved for.
A picture taken on June 10, 2013 shows the processing factory of Israel's Pharmaceutical Industries Teva Sante in Sens, south of Paris. The pharmaceutical company has been found guilty of helping to worsen the United States opioid epidemic in a New York trial."Teva Pharmaceuticals USA and others misled the American people about the true dangers of opioids," Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, said in a news release.
