Why are Oklahoma and California counties losing?
So why the recent losses? Both Oklahoma and the California Counties focused their cases on a public nuisance theory – essentially arguing that defendants’ deceptive and misleading conduct caused the marketplace to be flooded by unnecessary opioids, which caused harm to the public health and safety of their citizens. Both courts rejected the expansion of public nuisance into opioid harms. While they each came about this conclusion in slightly different ways, both did focus on the fact that the underlying products at issue were not only lawful products, but were heavily regulated by the federal government. The Oklahoma court noted that expanding public nuisance to lawful products would, “create unlimited and unprincipled liability for product manufacturers.”
