Oklahoma v. Johnson & Johnson

Oklahoma

(Ok., filed October 19, 2020): Arguing that the trial court inappropriately expanded the state’s public nuisance law. The trial court jettisoned traditional limitations on nuisance law and endorsed a public-nuisance theory that would virtually guarantee limitless liability for Oklahoma businesses. The trial court unfairly and unconstitutionally pinned the claimed financial costs of the opioid crisis on a single defendant.
