Overview
- Morton and her husband filed the malpractice suit on Oct. 31 in Fulton County against Dr. Jing Jing Wong Harris and Pretty Faces Atlanta.
- The filing alleges employee Lauren M. Davis applied double the manufacturer-recommended amount, causing second-degree burns, blistering, and permanent scarring.
- The suit claims there was no physician supervision; it says Dr. Harris entered only after Morton cried out, told her she was being dramatic, and sprayed an unknown solution.
- Plaintiffs argue Morton’s tinea versicolor meant she should not have received a peel and should have been referred to a dermatologist.
- The suit cites manufacturer warnings about higher discoloration risk in darker skin and alleges no documentation of informed consent, and outlets report the defendants have not responded to requests for comment.
