The powerful pain drug Fentanyl has killed again. This time, the body of 27-year-old Brandon Joey Weaver was found in his Manchester Township home. He had nearly eight times the therapeutic dosage of Fentanyl in his system, according to police and the York County Coroner's Office. Drug experts, Fentanyl is 100 times more potent than morphine.
"The fentanyl is delivered into the blood via a transdermal pain patch that very oftern fails", said Ricky Bagolie, a Jersey City attorney who is involved in litigation.

Watson Recalls Fentanyl Patches, Again
Yet again defective fentanyl pain patches have been pulled off of the shelves, this time by Watson. Defective patches can leak fentanyl, a substance 100 times more powerful than morphine, into the blood causing overdose death.
These patches should only be used as a last resort by end stage cancer patients and those with such severe chronic pain that nothing else works.
Our firm has reviewed far too many overdose deaths as a result of these defective patches. If a loved one suffered an overdose you MUST get an autopsy and have the blood drawn so the fentanyl levels can be measured. Then contact Bagolie Friedman Fentanyl Overdose Lawyers for a confidential and free consultation.
