Faulty Breast Implants Give Further Cause for Concern

Despite their continuing popularity, the worry of faulty breast implants is an issue that affects many women who have gone under the knife in an effort to look bigger and better than ever before. Now some implantees are faced with fresh concerns because experts are warning that faulty PIP implants may be harmful to unborn babies.
The problem area this time is a chemical used inside the implants. In the event of rupture the chemical is released into the body and experts at the Royal Society of Medicine are now stating that British authorities should let inform women of the dangers that this entails.
Although use of the French produced PIP implants has been banned since 2010, many women are still walking around with the potentially dangerous implants inside them.
Previous reports by The British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulation Authority state that the implants contain no hazardous material, but The consumer protection group Antidote Europe disagree with this and have identified dangerous levels of chemicals in the implants, one of which (D4) is of particular concern.
