Connecticut has joined a new $7.4 billion settlement agreement with OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family members who own the company.

A settlement was reached in principal between Purdue Pharma, the Sackler Family, states, and the victims of the opioid crisis.

Members of the Sackler family who own OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma, and the company itself, agreed to pay up to $7.4 billion to settle lawsuits over the toll of the powerful prescription painkiller.

The deal, announced Thursday, removes non-consensual releases to the Sackler family, Purdue's founders, which the U.S. Supreme Court had invalidated last year.

The deal comes after the Supreme Court blocked a controversial bankruptcy plan for Purdue that shielded Sackler family members from future lawsuits.
