New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art says it no longer will take donations from the Sackler family, principal owner of Purdue Pharma, which makes OxyContin.
The Met said in a statement Wednesday that it decided to end the relationship with the Sacklers because of the company's"production of opioids and the ensuing health crisis surrounding the abuse of these medications." The Met has no plans to rename the Sackler Wing of the museum though, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
