30 May 10 Botox Lawsuit – Allergan Loses
Anyone sue Allergan yet over Botox? They’re starting to roll in. I wonder when Mom is going to sue Allergan? I know the reason she hasn’t yet is due to the mental and physical stress she’d have to endure reliving the worse moments of her life. But, maybe one day. Until then, the silent ones, like Mom, will speak loudly:
OKLAHOMA CITY — A jury in Oklahoma County has found the maker of Botox negligent and awarded $15 million to a doctor who said she suffered botulism after using the anti-wrinkle drug.The jury found Allergan Inc. negligent on Tuesday because the label on the product did not include enough information about potential side effects. It awarded Dr. Sharla Helton $15 million in actual damages.Helton said she suffered pain and weakness after receiving Botox injections that led her to sell her medical practice and step down as medical director of an Oklahoma City hospital. Allergan spokeswoman Carolyn Van Hove called the ruling “inconsistent with all credible and scientific medical evidence.” She said the company will appeal.
The numbers are growing. May God bless Dr. Helton!
