Fentanyl Patches Recalled Twice in One Week

WASHINGTON - Patches containing the prescription painkiller fentanyl in the U.S. were recalled for the second time in a week Monday, because of a flaw that could cause patients or caregivers to overdose on the potent drug inside.

Sold in the United States by Actavis South Atlantic LLC, the newly recalled patches have both this name and the company's former name, Abrika Pharmaceuticals Inc., on their packaging. The old name is on the pouches that contain the patches and the new name is on the outer carton.
