An Oklahoma jury has found the maker of Botox negligent and awarded $15 million to a doctor who says she suffered botulism after using the anti-wrinkle drug. The jury found Allergan negligent because the label on the product did not include enough information about potential side effects. An Allergan spokeswoman called the ruling "inconsistent with all credible and scientific medical evidence" and said the company will appeal.
