Botox on trial in Santa Ana

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Jury selection will begin today in Santa Ana for a lawsuit brought by the mother of a 7-year-old Texas girl who died after receiving Botox injections.

Plaintiffs include surviving relatives of patients who died after Botox treatments and patients who say they were injured by Botox injections. Most of the cases involve medical uses, but some concern cosmetic uses as well.

This week?s trial focuses on Kristen Spears, 7, a cerebral palsy patient who died on Nov. 24, 2007, in Amarillo, Tex., after receiving seven sets of Botox injections over a 17-month period to ease her leg spasms. It's the first of 15 such lawsuits filed against Irvine-based Botox maker Allergan of hiding the dangers of the drug.
