Johnson & Johnson recalled all 25-microgram-per-hour patches that expire on or before December, 2009 sold in the U.S. on February 12, 2008. The Johnson & Johnson recall includes Duragesic and Sandoz brands, both of which are manufactured by Alza Corporation --a J&J subsidiary. The recall occurred as a result of the potential for a cut along one side of the drug reservoir where prescription drug fentanyl is stored in gel form, causing a leak of the gel. Fentanyl prescription drug patients and caregivers who come in contact with a leaking patch may have difficulty breathing, or potentially be victims of a fatal overdose.
