I have very little confidence this will go anywhere. If anything the pharmaceutical companies will pay a small fine and agree to better inform patients and doctors, control supply chain better etc.. Nothing else is going to come out of this. I get the feeling that this is just political showmanship. I wouldn't be surprised if the governor of Ohio is running for office in 2020. He has been making the rounds of talkshows trying to sound very concerned about people's health.

Even a small fine is a big start because if someone gets a small fine for bad behavior in court, and they repeat that behavior, they get a much larger penalty the second time around for willfully disregarding the court ruling about their illegal conduct. If the pharmaceutical companies get a small fine, it's a good bet that they won't be repeating that behavior.
