Mark & Associates, P.C. & McGinnis, Lochridge, Kilgore, L.L.P. File Lawsuit Against Botox Maker Over Patient Deaths, Injuries

Date:7/10/2008

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. A copy of the complaint is available at http://www.BotoxLegalRights.com.

In addition to alleging design and manufacturing flaws, the suit claims that Allergan continues to promote "off label" uses of Botox for treating patients with cerebral palsy and other uses that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Allergan also fails to properly warn Botox users of the possibility of fatal and life-threatening injuries from Botox injections and fails to inform physicians and health care providers about all known risks of the drug, including death.

Ray Chester, lead counsel in the Botox litigation from McGinnis, Lochridge, Kilgore, L.L.P., and Jason Mark from Mark & Associates, P.C., continue to evaluate cases involving Botox deaths and injuries on behalf of patients who used the drug for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. Free case consultations are available by calling 1-866-50-RIGHTS (1-866-507-4448) or by completing an inquiry on http://www.BotoxLegalRights.com.
