Here's what the future may hold for Purdue Pharma and drug industry

Purdue Pharma and its owners, the Sackler family, are offering to settle more than 2,000 lawsuits against the company for $10 billion to $12 billion. The potential deal was part of confidential conversations and discussed by Purdue's lawyers at a meeting in Cleveland last Tuesday, Aug. 20, according to two people familiar with the mediation. CNBC's "Power Lunch" team discusses the Sackler family with John Temple, West Virginia University professor and author of, "American Pain."
