Fentanyl Pain Patch

Topic: PRODUCT LIABILITY
On December 31, 2008, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a division of health care giant Johnson & Johnson, announced that it recalled two lots of 50 mcg Duragesic pain patches. The patches were recalled because of cuts in the products that could potentially expose its users directly to fentanyl gel, causing a potentially fatal overdose.
This recall is yet another product recall, as well as FDA Advisories involving fentanyl pain patches over the last several years. If you or someone close to you has suffered personal injuries or death as a result of using any brand of fentanyl pain patch, please call me to discuss your options.
