Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall of its generic 100 mcg/hr fentanyl pain patch. A manufacturing error may cause the patches to leak fentanyl gel, potentially resulting in overdose, respiratory depression, or even death. The company announced on Friday a recall for 100 mcg/hr fentanyl transdermal system patches shipped in the United States between April 2 and May 20 of this year. The patches have the lot number 145287A located on the box or on the patch itself. The company warned that any patches covered by this recall should not be handled directly. Consumers who purchased the patches can call 888-345-2656, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EDT, for instructions on how to return the defective product.
This is a classic example of a products liability case, in which the manufacturer of a product may be held liable if they were negligent in manufacturing or marketing the product, and that negligence caused injury or death to consumers.
