(Columbus, OH) -- Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is suing five drug manufacturers over the opioid addiction epidemic in the state. The lawsuit was filed against Purdue Pharma, Endo Health Solutions, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Cephalon Pharmaceuticals and Allergan Pharmaceuticals. DeWine says the drug companies put profit above the health and well being of the people of Ohio and misled health officials about the addiction risks.
