Pain patches which are intended to deliver measured dosages of fentanyl, a powerful pain medication, have been linked to a number of deaths from overdose. The Duragesic Patch, manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceutical Products is at the heart of the problem.
Ongoing litigation is pending now asserting that the Duragesic Patch is defective in that they can accidentally release overdoses or that the manufacturer failed to warn of certain risks.
If you or a loved one has suffered an overdose from the use of a Duragesic or other fentanyl patch, you may be entitled to damages for your injuries. Call Missouri and Illinois medical malpractice and products liability lawyer Todd N. Hendrickson.
