Mississippi-Alabama opioid suit part of national consolidation

Two Alabama hospitals recently joined in a class-action suit filed in Mississippi against opioid makers and distributors. That case has now been swept up into a national tide of litigation being consolidated in an Ohio courtroom.

The suit, filed Nov. 30 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, was brought by Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center, Mobile-based Infirmary Health Hospitals, and the Monroe County (Ala.) Healthcare Authority.
