DEA Warns of Fentanyl-Laced Pills

The Drug Enforcement Administration is warning people about fake prescription drugs being sold on the black market. 

  • The administration made its first public safety alert in six years today to tell people that the counterfeit pills, which look like oxycodone, Percocet or Adderall, may contain a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl. 
  • The warning comes as drug overdoses increase in the United States.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 93-thousand Americans died of drug overdoses last year, which is more than ever before. 
  • Have you ever bought medication on the Internet?
