Fentanyl Patch Attorneys

On February 12 th 2008 there was a voluntary Fentanyl Patch recall made by the Johnson & Johnson Corporation. The Duragesic Pain Patch, sold by PriCara and Fentanyl Transdermal System Patches sold by Sandoz were recalled because there is a possibility of a defect that could cause accidental overdose. About 32 million of these Pain Patches have been recalled, with Johnson & Johnson estimating that about 2 million could be defective.

All of the patches that have been affected in the pain patch recall have an expiration date on or before December 2009 and all 25-microgram-per-hour patches that are sold in the U.S. by J&J's PriCara unit and Sandoz; they are made by another J&J unit, Alza Corp.

The patches that have been recalled may have a cut along one side of the drug reservoir within the patch, which could possibly cause the fentanyl gel within to leak into the pouch the patch is packaged in, which could easily cause a caregiver or patient to be exposed directly to the gel and accidentally overdose. Anyone who believes they have a damaged fentanyl patch should immediately dispose of them properly to eliminate the risk of accidental overdose.
