Hello Interloper!

We made Allergan (the owner of the Botox® brand) aware of our findings, and I’m pretty sure I heard a collective sigh, as if to say ‘no not again’. They thanked us for bringing it to their attention so one suspects it won’t be around in its current form for much longer, but it must get tiring to have to keep stopping everyone who thinks that they have a god-given right to associate their product with such a well-known brand of cosmetic treatment!
I’m not even going to touch on the subject of Botox being a prescription-only medicine which cannot legally be promoted to the public in the UK, but which is used with gay abandon by the press at large. Perhaps this is what makes companies think that they too can use the word like just any other noun in the dictionary. Let’s face it the Oxford English Dictionary has it listed!
