The opioid epidemic has harmed many people over the last few decades, resulting in addiction, health issues and death. Opioid manufacturers are being held liable for their part in causing the opioid epidemic, including the company Mallinckrodt Plc. In 2020, Mallinckrodt Plc filed for bankruptcy, and the Mallinckrodt Opioid Personal Injury Trust was recently created as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
