Lawsuit Against Botox Maker Over Patient Deaths, Injuries

UNIONDALE, N.Y., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark & Associates, P.C. and McGinnis, Lochridge, Kilgore, L.L.P., have filed a civil lawsuit today against Botox-maker Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) for negligent failures in the design, manufacturing and marketing of the popular anti-wrinkle drug that has caused patient deaths and injuries. The suit, filed in the Superior Court of California, Orange County, (Case No. 00180033) on behalf of 15 plaintiffs from across the nation, seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Allergan is based in Irvine, California.

The FDA is now renewing their concerns regarding the risk of death and other health issues that can arise as a result of using Botox. This renewed concern comes after the group Public Citizen, based out of Washington, asked the FDA to place the strongest possible black box warning on the Allergan company's very popular anti-aging product. It has been found that death has occurred in, not only FDA unapproved uses, but in FDA approved uses as well. This has resulted in an ongoing safety review regarding the overall risk of the drug.
