Salt Lake-based Klein-Becker has filed suit in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City against Allergan Inc. and Mediacom Worldwide Inc. over what Klein-Becker called "strong-arm tactics" employed to silence advertising of its StriVectin-SD product advertising.
The suit was filed Wednesday.
It alleges that Allergan, the producer of Botox, and Mediacom, Allergan's advertising agency, have tried to silence "Better than Botox?" advertisements by threatening publishers that run ads for StriVectin, a stretch-mark-repair-cream also used as an anti-wrinkle product.
