Fentanyl Patch Drug Manufacturers Hammered Again by Wrongful Death Verdict
In what appears to be at least the third plaintiff’s victory in a personal injury/wrongful death suit over Fentanyl patches (also called Duragesic patches), a jury ordered $13.3 million to the family of a Florida woman who died when a faulty pain patch leaked and flooded her bloodstream with Fentanyl medication, killing her. The verdict was returned in the state circuit court in Seminole County, Florida.
