French Silicone Breast Implants Recalled
 
Interesting article on French Silicone Breast Implants being recalled...the downside is, one cant return them to the store, they have to be removed~~~

According to the article I read 1000 out of 30,000 implants burst. The implants were made with a cheap industrial silicon. These type of implants were not sold in the U.S. So sorry for anyone who has suffered through this problem.

Its all over our news bulletins today and it appears the French Govt have agreed to pay for all these patients to have them removed, they're stressing there's no risk of cancer but removing is best as a prevantative.
