Accusing the manufacturer of the painkiller OxyContin of sparking the opioid epidemic in the Keystone State, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro has filed a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma.

The lawsuit was filed in the Commonwealth Court under the state Consumer Protection Law and Unfair Trade Practices Law and seeks $1,000 for each violation of the statute, increasing to $3,000 for each violation that involved a victim over 60 years of age.
