A $7.4 billion settlement has been reached in principle between states, victims, and members of the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma for their roles in the opioid crisis, Attorney General William Tong said Thursday.

Connecticut and 14 other states on Thursday agreed to a new settlement deal with the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma that would secure $7.4 billion for communities across the United States that have been impacted by the opioid crisis.

Members of the Sackler family who own OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, and the company itself, agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion in a new settlement to lawsuits over the toll of the prescription painkiller.
