Jury Orders Allergan Inc. to Pay $212 Million in Botox Case

(Reuters) - A Virginia District Court jury has ordered Allergan Inc to pay $212 million to a man who claimed that injections of wrinkle-smoothing Botox left him with brain damage.

The jurors awarded 67-year-old Douglas Ray Jr $12 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages, the company said on Thursday.

Ray said he was injured after getting Botox injections to relieve a hand tremor and writer's cramp, according to a report in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
