Drug & Device Law
Litigation attorney Eric Alexander authored a Drug & Device Law article about the Ohio Supreme Court's pivotal decision in the In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation case, which concluded public nuisance claims for products were abrogated by state law. Mr. Alexander explains the ruling clarifies that such claims, once a prominent strategy in opioid litigation, are precluded by Ohio's Products Liability Act (OPLA). The article also discusses the broader implications of this decision, emphasizing its reinforcement of a predictable legal framework for product liability and its potential impact on similar claims in other jurisdictions.
