The Oklahoma Supreme Court has overturned a historic 2019 ruling against Johnson & Johnson which ordered the company to pay $465 million for its role in fueling Oklahoma’s opioid crisis. The court said the state’s public nuisance law could not be applied to J&J’s deceptive marketing practices. Oklahoma’s attorney general indicated his office may seek to challenge the ruling.
