ACTAVIS FENTANYL RECALL
U.S. Fentanyl Recall Information – Important Update for Consumers
On October 21, 2010, Actavis announced a recall of 18 Control/Lots of Fentanyl Transdermal System 25 mcg/h. Under this recall, all wholesalers and retailers are being asked to return the product they have on hand or in stock. Consumers are encouraged to return product in their possession. Fentanyl patches sold by Actavis in Europe are not impacted in this recall.
Actavis identified one lot of 25 mcg/hour Fentanyl patch (Control/Lot # 30349) shipped to market that contained one patch that released in vitro (test tube) its active ingredient faster than the approved specification. As a precautionary measure, in addition to the aforementioned lot, Actavis is recalling the Control/Lot Numbers listed below due to the possibility that additional patches may release active ingredient faster than the approved specification.
