Two more states and the District of Columbia filed lawsuits Monday against OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma LP, leaving just a handful of states that haven’t yet sued over the opioid crisis.

The actions seek penalties from Purdue and the recovery of money the jurisdictions have borne from the opioid crisis.
