Acting New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood and Gov. Andrew Cuomo have announced the state intends to file a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma over its marketing of opioid pain medication.

The statement of intent to sue the Stamford, Connecticut-based maker of OxyContin comes after a September 2017  announcement by a bipartisan coalition of 41 state attorneys general of an investigation into the role of major pharmaceutical companies in the current opioid epidemic.
