Press Release Body = August 15, 2006 -- Bagolie Friedman Injury Lawyers has launched the Workers Comp & Injury Law Blog, covering hot topics in workers\' compensation and workplace injury law. \"On the web at http://www.bagoliefriedman.blogspot.com, I started this blog to be a place that was easy to locate and would provide a forum to discuss the issues that impact workers who are injured on the job or contract a job related cancer\", said partner Ricky E. Bagolie. Discussions are currently focused on the deadly lung diesease Silicosis, problems with the Charite artificial disc replacement surgery and overdose dangers with the Duragesic Fentanyl Pain Patch. For example, Consumers are warned of defective fentanyl pain patches. Known as the Duragesic Transdermal Patch, it is a device developed to alleviate chronic pain which could possibly leak, exposing patients to dangerous levels of fentanyl, a powerful opiate based pain reliever. On July 15, 2005 the FDA issued a public health advisory concerning the Duragesic (transdermal fentanyl) patches in response to reports of deaths in patients using this potent narcotic medication for pain management. The FDA is conducting an investigation into the deaths associated with these patches Duragesic is no longer the only fentanyl pain patch being marketed. On January 28, 2005, the U.S. FDA granted final approval for Mylan Laboratories, Inc. to market a generic fentanyl transdermal system. The manufacturer of Duragesic® has also begun to market an authorized generic version of the fentanyl patch through an agreement with Sandoz. Other generic companies have applications pending at the FDA to market similar fentanyl patches, therefore, other generic versions may soon be available. Problems associated with these newer generic patches have also been reported. \"It is very difficult for a person examining a fentanyl patch to detect a defect or leak. This can lead to a dangerous situation as exposure to an excessive amount of fentanyl can lead to serious injury or death.\" says attorney Alan Friedman. Bagolie Friedman, with offices in Jersey City and Clifton, New Jersey, Hollywood, Florida and an international affiliation in Brisbane, Australia, offers aggressive representation and free consultations. \"This blog compliments our http://bagoliefriedman.com website and I look forward to interacting with the community either on line, over the phone or in my office\", said Bagolie.
