Fentanyl Pain Patches Recalled
On December 31, 2008, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a unit of consumer and health care products company Johnson & Johnson, announced that its PriCara division had recalled two lots of 50 mcg Duragesic pain patches. The patches were recalled because of cuts in the products that could expose users directly to the product's powerful fentanyl gel, causing a potentially fatal overdose. This is the latest in a long line of product recalls and FDA Public Health Advisories that have plagued fentanyl pain patches over the last several years.
