Full text
24. If it is not possible to determine which defendant in an action brought on an individual basis caused or contributed to the exposure, to a type of opioid products, of the particular health care recipients who suffered a disease, injury or illness resulting from that exposure, but because of a failure in a duty imposed on them, one or more of the defendants also caused or contributed to, for persons, the risk of a disease, injury or illness by exposing them to the type of opioid products involved, the court may find each of those defendants liable for health care costs incurred, in proportion to its share of liability for the risk.
