Fate of billions for opioid victims from Sacklers rests with Supreme Court
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Examines Sackler Family's Role in Opioid Settlement
  • The Biden administration is challenging a bankruptcy plan that allows the Sackler family to avoid future lawsuits related to the opioid epidemic.

  • This is no ordinary bankruptcy case and involves the nationwide harm caused by the opioid crisis and the role played by Sackler-owned Purdue.

  • As part of the proposed deal, which the Supreme Court put on hold in August, the Sackler family had agreed to pay around $6 billion to settle opioid-related claims, but only in return for a complete release from any liability in future cases.

  • The overall settlement, including assets held by Purdue, is likely to be worth significantly more, with the reorganized company dedicated to tackling the impact of opioid abuse.

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Postpones Menthol Cigarette Ban
  • The Biden administration is delaying the planned ban on menthol cigarettes due to lobbying by civil rights groups arguing that a ban would unfairly target black smokers.

  • The delay is a defeat for health advocates trying to limit access to aggressively marketed menthol cigarettes in black communities.

  • Menthol can enhance the addictive effects of cigarettes and make it harder to quit, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  • Despite the FDA proposing the ban in April 2022, the Biden administration initially seemed on board with restricting the sale of menthol cigarettes.
