Actor Danny Trejo, L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna unveil campaign to warn against counterfeit drugs
Los Angeles and federal authorities on Wednesday unveiled a multi-agency campaign to warn people about the dangers of counterfeit pharmaceuticals, many of which contain the deadly drug fentanyl.
The campaign's slogan is "bad meds kill real people,'' Luna said, adding that the initiative is comprised of three pillars: education, awareness and enforcement."We're in a crisis,'' Trejo told reporters. "There's a surprise in every pill -- and the surprise might be death. You no longer know what you're taking.''
"And so on Dec. 22, 2019, Alex purchased what she believed to be the prescription painkiller oxycodone,'' Capelouto said. "She took half the pill before going to bed, and was killed within minutes.''
