Canadian opioid litigation runs on two tracks: consumer class actions on behalf of people who became dependent on prescription opioids, and a British Columbia-led action by governments to recover health-care costs from manufacturers and distributors. Purdue's Canadian arm reached an earlier consumer settlement; broader claims continue. Eligibility for the consumer track centres on having been prescribed and taken opioids and suffered dependence or harm.
