Fentanyl Pain Patch Injury Claims on the Rise Admist Dangerous Side Effects and Overdose

Fentanyl comes in a Duragesic patch and/or transdermal patch that delivers a potent level of pain killer into the human body.  When first introduced in the late 1990s, Fentanyl was not prescribed for personal use.  That all changed in early 2002.  The fentanyl pain patch delivery system proved to help consumers suffering from chronic pain.  However, Fentanyl pain patch injury claims first started to surface in 2004, and by 2005 there had been over 100 deaths linked directly to Fentanyl overdose.  Do you have a Fentanyl injury claim against Janssen?

The Fentanyl pain patch is known to leak and cause a potentially fatal overdose.  Be on the lookout for early symptoms the life-threatening side effects associated with Fentanyl, including fatigue, shortness of breath, respiratory depression, fainting and tightness in the chest cavity.  Families who have lost a loved one due to a Fentanyl overdose should contact a Fentanyl drug recall injury lawyer immediately to discuss how to properly file a wrongful death claim against Janssen.  Also note that investigations into the doctors that prescribe Fentanyl is also being considered in many of these cases. 

Victims of a Fentanyl drug defect have rights and remedies available in the form of a product liability claim.  Don't stand for being victimized by a careless drug company.  Contact a drug recall injury lawyer who is experienced in the handling of a Fentanyl (Duragesic) injury claim.
