This latest recall was declared by the PriCara division of Ortho-MacNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson & Johnson unit and Sandoz. Two separate lots of pain patches using Fentanyl in 50 mcg were affected – one lot was sold under the brand name Duragesic skin patches and the other was generic. In these lots, cuts in the patches could release the potent Fentanyl gel unexpectedly into the pouch, making them deadly for users, caregivers or medical workers – basically anyone coming into contact with the skin patches. Fentanyl overdose is marked by respiratory depression, which can lead to death.
