GBI warns of dangerous counterfeit drugs
Placeholder Image
Since 2015, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found six cases of drugs from Hall County stamped differently than their contents. The GBI said it has seen 454 samples across the state in the past two years of counterfeit pills, which often contain a more serious or dangerous drug. One example given by the GBI involved a pill marked as oxycodone, a painkiller, that actually contained fentanyl, furanyl fentanyl and a drug called U-47700.
