| Mr. Kalyani Bhatt, I lost my son in 2006 from the painkiller OxyContin. My son’s toxicology report showed no alcohol, no marijuana, and no other illegal drugs were found in his system. The dangerous substance opiods in OxyContin was the caused of my son’s death. He died at the age of 19. Immediately after my son’s death which was about two months, I started to write a pamphlet to warn the public about the dangers of prescription abuse. The making of REMOXY XRT is another serious concern. To learn that this new painkiller that testing only lasted for 12 weeks and that no mention of addiction and withdrawal from the product is a great concern. Addictions and deaths are waiting to happen to many people from this new and approved painkiller REMOXY XRT.My Legal but Deadly Awareness Campaign works very hard to warn to prevent young people from dying from prescription painkiller and other dangerous drugs abuse. Respectfully, Lorna Efford
