Fentanyl Patch Recall Lawsuit

In February and March of 2008, Actavis recalled several brands of fentanyl transdermal patches because they may have defects that could allow the fentanyl gel to leak out of the patch. If the gel touches patient’s or caregiver’s skin, it could cause respiratory depression and possibly death.
