The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is warning the public of a “significant nationwide surge” in potentially lethal counterfeit prescription pills.
In a rare public safety alert released Monday, the DEA says Americans are being killed at an “unprecedented rate” by pills manufactured in labs and deceptively sold by criminal networks. Those pills, according to the federal counternarcotics agency, are disguised as legitimate prescription drugs but contain lethal amounts of fentanyl.
