U.S. health officials have issued a warning regarding counterfeit Botox injections that have led to the illness of 22 individuals, with half of them requiring hospitalization, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC alerted doctors about this concerning issue on Tuesday.
These cases emerged in early November and have been documented in 11 states across the country. The CDC highlighted that the injections were administered by unlicensed or inadequately trained individuals, often in non-medical settings such as homes or spas. Most of the affected individuals sought these injections for cosmetic purposes.
