"Fake Botox injections are making people sick."
As of April 18th, 2024, 22 people in 11 states have gotten sick from fake or improperly administered Botox injections. Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for wrinkles and other medical conditions containing controlled doses of botulinum toxin. However, fake versions may have incorrect or contaminated doses of the toxin or been improperly stored. Most of the illnesses were caused by a fake Botox product and given outside of a healthcare setting such as a home or spa.
