Consultant: West Virginia city was bombarded with opioids
By: Associated Press (May 2021)
The Washington Times' "Consultant: West Virginia city was bombarded with opioids" story reports on three companies that have been involved in complex litigation for shipping overwhelming amounts of opioids into the state of West Virginia from 2006 to 2014. Dr. McCann testified in this case, and is quoted in the article saying that of the 110 million doses of hydrocodone and oxycodone that were shipped into the state, over 90% were from the defendants. That covers just two of the many prescription drugs that these companies are responsible for pumping into Cabell County and Huntington. This inexcusable lack of judgement was reflected in the defendants responses, showing no remorse for their role and failing to fight claims made against them by Dr. McCann.
