Re: Wondering if anyone had Faulty Valve with their saline impla

[Guest guest]

My implants were both manufactured incorrectly, and the valve was faulty per Pierre Blais' report. He also stated that key areas of the implant had weakened to such an extent that complete rupture was inevitable in the near future. e ----- Original Message ----- From: indysurvivor@...

Lots of us had actual defective implants, I believe that the vast majority of the McGhan style 168 and 468(i think) were defective with this valve problem. The issue is that we have no way of suing them because of the consent we signed. More women need to be aware that they are signing away their rights when they get implants. That sometimes (often times) the benefits do not outweigh the risks, as the consent states in it.

Sucks big time doesn't it!

I see no reason why you cannot send him your implants from Australia. I

would try to find out what you need to do now so that when the time comes

you will have things arranged already. I will send you the info on how to

contact him, it is on this site.

Hugs
