ATLANTA, GA.-Botched Botox injections in nine states, including Washington, are under investigation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced the investigation on April 15 after reports of at least 19 women getting sick after Botox injections from people untrained to give them or from receiving them in non-medical settings.
According to NBC News reporting on the investigation, the botched injections have been detected in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Washington.
Nine of the 19 women had reactions or side effects severe enough to warrant hospitalization after the injections, according to the CDC. The investigation into the injections is ongoing and it is unclear if the reactions were the result of fake products, contamination or unsanitary conditions.
