Thee are so many potential jokes that could be attributed to this thread, but for once, I do actually feel that it's worthy of being serious.

The companies that put them in will almost definately never be brought to trial. If they do, they will be dissolved etc, records lost, people who made decisions gone 'missing'. So it will be left to us taxpayers to pick up the bills.

Many of the women who had them will no doubt be quite embarrased and not want to come forwards to complain and be dragged through courts - they'll just want rid of them. And many wouldn't be able to afford the extortionate legal fees to chase compensation.

It's a lose/lose situation...
