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.

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

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.

Under the deal, the Sackler family members will eventually pay a total of $6.5 billion while Purdue will pay $900 million.
