Daily News | Knoxville, Tenn., traces its opioid crisis to a Malvern drug company
between 2006 and 2012. Nationwide, drug firms manufactured 76 billion opioid pills over that time, Post reported. In addition to Opana, Endo also made and sold less-expensive unbranded generic opioid pills through a subsidiary.
“Opana became what we called the holy trinity” in Knoxville — a cocktail of it, Soma and alprazolam, said Rausch, the former Knoxville police chief. This trinity combined the powerful opioid, the muscle relaxer, and benzodiazepine for an elevated high. A person who illegally distributes drugs or helps in the illegal dealing can be held liable in court. In June 2017, Stranch sued Endo and other opioid companies under the Tennessee Drug Dealer Liability Act, representing nine counties, 18 municipalities, and Baby Doe, who was exposed to opioids in utero.
The lawsuit filed by Tennessee AG Slatery says that 916,513 more Opana ER pills were sold in Knoxville between 2007 and 2014 than were sold in the nation’s three-largest cities, with 82 times the population of Knoxville.
