Seattle, state sue 'Big Pharma' over pain pill marketing

The City of Seattle and state of Washington are going after pharmaceutical companies they argue helped create the country's opioid epidemic. In a Thursday press conference at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson announced separate lawsuits against major drug companies. "Unlike earthquakes and hurricanes, this disaster is a human-made crisis," Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said.
