Another multi million dollar Fentanyl Patch Overdose Verdict, Another Defeat for Its Manufacturers
I posted a full article on our Injuryboard blog about yet another major multi-million dollar verdict (November 17, 2008) against fentanyl patch distributors, this one out of Illinois for fentanyl patch "defect" causing an overdose death.
The pharmaceutical companies that have convinced doctors nationwide to prescribe these fentanyl patch lethal weapons, are making hundreds of millions of dollars on this burgeoning new area of growth, but the overdose deaths are spiraling out of control nationwide.
As noted above, an Illinois jury returned a 16 million dollar verdict against two companies selling fentanyl patches, finding that a "defect" in the product caused a lethal overdose to the 38 year old mother of three. See my prior posts on this topic.
Our law firm is now investigating and accepting cases involving overdose deaths where fentanyl was prescribed to a patient who was in the prescribing criteria for this apparently lethal weapon.
