Fentanyl Poisoning and Fentanyl Patches: Are these cases still around?
Yes, they are.
As recently as February 2008 a number of manufacturers recalled pain patches for what is called a fold over defect.
the 14 lots of Fentanyl transdermal system patches being recalled may have a fold-over defect which may cause the patch to leak and expose patients or caregivers directly to the fentanyl gel. Exposure to fentanyl directly can cause serious harm, including breathing problems and overdose, which can be fatal.
