On June 8, 2007, the law firms of Rochon Genova LLP and Siskinds LLP filed a class action on behalf of all persons in Canada (excluding Quebec) who were prescribed and ingested Oxycontin against the manufacturers of the drug, Purdue Pharma, Purdue Pharma Inc., Purdue Frederick Inc., The Purdue Frederick Company Inc., and Purdue Pharma LP (the "Defendants").
Oxycontin is prescribed for moderate to severe, chronic pain. Use of Oxycontin has been linked to addiction and abuse of the drug, overdoses and sometimes death.
The claim alleges that the Defendants knew or ought to have known that ingesting Oxycontin leads to drug dependency and addiction.
