It is believed to be the first Botox case alleging a fatal reaction to reach trial, and is one of several pending suits related to the drug's cosmetic and non-cosmetic uses.
The trial comes less than a year after federal authorities mandated "black box" labels that warn of potentially serious reactions to Botox. And it opens a window on the Irvine-based drug maker's own records of reported ill effects, showing that the company knew of some serious problems linked to neurotoxins such as Botox as early as 2005.
