Ohio Supreme Court: Opioid judgment against pharmacy chains not allowed under product liability law
Ohio Capital Journal: Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law and co-director of the Law-Medicine Center, discussed a recent Ohio Supreme Court decision that she said broadly limits plaintiffs’ ability to assert public nuisance claims in Ohio. The court ruled that claims against pharmaceutical chains under the Ohio Product Liability Act are barred, potentially negating a $650 million judgment for Lake and Trumbull counties.
