The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently issued an advisory regarding the dangers associated with counterfeit or mishandled Botox injections. This warning comes after reports of harmful reactions from fake versions of the product in several states.
At least 22 women have experienced adverse effects after receiving counterfeit Botox injections, shots from unlicensed providers, or injections in non-healthcare settings such as spas or private homes. These incidents have been reported in multiple states including California, Colorado, Florida, and New York City.
