What’s the problem?

Over the past several years, there have been a number of defects associated with fentanyl patch overdose toxicity. The main defect that has led to fentanyl patch overdose toxicity involves a seal on the patch coming undone or leaking. When this occurs, a patient ends up being overdosed with the fentanyl contained in the patch.

Another defect involves the patch improperly unfolding. When this occurs, fentanyl can leak from the patch in an uncontrolled manner, a process that can cause a patient to overdose.

Additionally, some healthcare workers have suffered overdoses when the gel pack within the patch ends up damaged very slightly. Indeed, the damage may not even be visible to the naked eye. When this occurs, fentanyl can transfer to the body of a healthcare worker in an uncontrolled manner.
