Drugs Manufacturing Problem Augusta

Johnson & Johnson and Novatis AG’s Sandoz are the two of the largest manufacturers of pain patches in the United States. They issued a recall on 25-microgram-per-hour patches with expiration dates on or before December 2009. The reason for this recall was that some patches have a cut in the internal reservoir lining due to a manufacturing problem. Because of this defect, anyone who touches a defective pain patch may be delivered a dose of the prescription painkiller fentanyl leading to breathing problems or even an accidental overdose. Fentanyl, the drug contained in the patch, is a potent opioid and a DEA Schedule II controlled substance that is up to 100 times stronger than morphine. A person examining a fentanyl patch may not be able to detect a defect or leak leading to a dangerous situation as exposure to an excessive amount of fentanyl can lead to serious injury or death. If you are or one of your loved ones is suffering from injury caused by pain patches, you may be entitled to compensation for the pain and suffering besides medical expenses. Contact a personal injury lawyer. You must file your personal injury lawsuit within the limitation period prescribed by law.
