Leaders Warn of New Drug Trend

Parents and Community Members, 
 
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued a warning about a potentially fatal drug known as ‘Rainbow Fentanyl.’ This drug can be found in pill and powder form and in a variety of bright colors, shapes and sizes that could attract young people. These drugs may resemble sidewalk chalk or candy.
 
Any pill that does not come from a health care provider or pharmacist can contain fentanyl and can be deadly.
  
If you, your child, or anyone you know, encounters fentanyl in any form do not handle it and call 911 immediately.
  
Get more facts about Fentanyl from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
