More Fentynal Pain Patch Lawsuits
Law firms are filing more fentanyl pain patch lawsuits—more and more of them are against Mylan Inc. and its subsidiary, Mylan Technologies Inc. Mylan patches are different from the usual pain patches because they are not reservoir based, but instead use a mesh matrix. Experts agree that the mesh matrix is much safer than the reservoirs, which are prone to leaking toxic amounts of the opiate drug. Right now, there have been reports of about 28 deaths possibly related to the Mylan matrix patches. Further investigation will reveal whether the products were defective.

april 2009 my daughter died of a lethal level of fentanyl. She was wearing a mylan 25mg patch which was put on to her back by her husband 12 hours earlier. She did not realize the danger of using a heating pad with the patch and was using one at the time of her death. Is the mylan patch more sensitive to heat than other patches?
