A recent report share 75 billion oxycodone & hydrocodone pills during 2006-2012, also during that time period roughly 100,000 individuals died from complications from opioids and opioid addiction. Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Purdue, and other major opioid manufacturing companies are now in legal battles in regards to the opioid crisis. In some cases, the companies are losing their legal battles which in turn will help hold the other companies accountable as well.
