NEW YORK - The U.S. government on Tuesday filed its first criminal charges against a major drug distributor and company executives over their alleged roles in fueling the nation’s opioid epidemic by putting profits ahead of patients’ safety.
“We made mistakes,” RDC spokesman Jeff Eller said in a statement. “We accept responsibility for those mistakes.” The case marks a new U.S. effort to curtail the growing number of addictions to oxycodone and other prescription painkillers, often by people with no legitimate medical need for them. The deferred prosecution agreement allows RDC to keep operating, subject to three years of independent compliance monitoring, and avoid prosecution if it complies with the terms.
