HACKENSACK, New Jersey (WABC) -- Law enforcement in New Jersey is out with a new warning about the dangers of fentanyl-laced drugs after five women overdosed at a mall in Hackensack. The death of Michelle Edoo from fentanyl is a warning signal to anyone who buys illicit drugs. "There has never been a more risky time in our society for people who take illicit drugs," Bergen County Prosecutor Chief of Detectives Jason Love said. Edoo was a 29-year-old single mother who died after ingesting fentanyl along with four other women who thought it was cocaine.
