Sellers of fake Botox jabs could be jailed for two years, says watchdog

MHRA is cracking down on unlicensed anti-wrinkle products after spate of botulism cases in England

Sellers of fake Botox jabs could be jailed for up to two years, the UK’s medicine watchdog has warned, as it increases efforts to track down those flouting the law.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says it is cracking down on the trade of unlicensed botulinum toxin products after a spate of botulism cases across England thought to be linked to them.
