June 19, 2018 – Purdue Pharma, the company that manufactures the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin, laid off its entire sales force Tuesday, effectively ending an era for the drug that at one point was a top-seller and became synonymous with the nation’s opioid crisis. Purdue, the $3 billion private company owned by the Sackler family, had already laid off half of its approximately 600 sales reps back in February, when it announced that it would no longer be promoting OxyContin to doctors. But on Tuesday, Purdue Pharma confirmed to VICE News that it had effectively finished the job — axing the remaining roughly 220 in its sales force.
