Taffy,
while the company in question has gone under, you would have thought the surgeons and companies would have insurances to cover themselves against such incidents happening.
Nobody should have to put up with faulty or dangerous goods , least of all those put into their bodies beneath the skin. Its not like a dodgy batch of contact lenses that you can take out and throw in the bin then replace... It has the added risks of going under general anesthetic AGAIN and for longer this time as they will have to remove the offending object, clean out any damaged tissue or seeped silicone then if the woman wants it , put in replacement implants (safe ones hopefully this tmie)
Its not just the cost of the implant and the surgery , its the trauma caused by surgery this time NOT elective but forced upon them .... This really does need addressing and patients I guess could take this up with Injury Lawyers as it isn't what they signed up for , I do wonder how many 'No Win , No Fee' Solicitiors will take this up as there has to be a high chance of winning the case, after all, the patients signed up for a known risk , not one involving none surgical approved silicone.
