SAN ANTONIO — Bad batches of Botox. The CDC put out an alert about counterfeit Botox being found across the country.
David Shafer, a board certified plastic surgeon told us,"There is a difference between Botox Cosmetic, which is the real Botox, and then all this kind of ubiquitous use of the word Botox, which is not truly Botox some of the time. And it's very concerning because patients don't know which one they're getting."
The CDC says as of mid April, 22 people with adverse affects were reported in 11 states including Texas. All those with symptoms were women between the ages of 25 and 59. Each reported receiving botulinum toxin injections by unlicensed or untrained individuals or in non-healthcare settings, including in the home.
