On December 31, Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a unit of Johnson & Johnson, announced that its PriCara division had recalled two lots of 50 mcg Duragesic pain patches. The patches were recalled because of cuts in the products that could expose users directly to the product’s active ingredient; fentanyl, and potentially cause a fatal overdose. This is the latest in a long line of product recalls and FDA Public Health Advisories that have plagued fentanyl pain patches.
