How this individual concern was interpreted

PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. Response links show a clear evidence connection; they do not assign responsibility.

PFD Monitor interpretation

Availability of potent and toxic acetylfentanyl through legal marketing and the internet

Wider context from the report

“(1) Post Mortem testing on blood taken from the deceased found the presence of Acetylfentanyl (opioid analgesic drug more potent than heroin or morphine and fentanyl) and is not licensed for medicinal use and has only been sold illegally as a “designer drug”. This drug is being marketed legally and is available over the internet. The evidence in this case indicated that the deceased had ordered it with a view to weaning himself off heroin. Such is the potency/toxicity of this drug and the apparent free availability of it, it is likely that further deaths may occur due to it’s use. It is believed that this was the first known death in the UK caused by or contributed to by this drug. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate controls on the sale and online access to highly toxic substances.
