Rhode Island cities and towns this week sued McKinsey, claiming the consultant “played an integral role in creating and deepening the opioid crisis.”

The lawsuit alleges that McKinsey “participated in and helped orchestrate a broad scheme to deceptively market opioids” – and “knew of the dangers of opioids and of Purdue’s prior misconduct, but nonetheless advised Purdue to improperly market and sell OxyContin.”
