Women With Allergan Breast Implants Face A Tough
Choice
2
What would you do if you found out a medical
implant that you received could cause cancer? The
last thing anybody wants to think about when they
undergo a medical procedure is that the same
procedure could cause them harm. However,
Allergan textured breast implants have now been
recalled by the US Food and Drug Administration.
The nationally recognized firm Colson Hicks
Eidson is now taking cases of women impacted by
these products in Florida and throughout the
United States. Call them today so they can get
started on your case.

What Is Happening With Allergan Breast Implants?
Michelle Peterson has to find out from a coworker
that Allergan Breast implants had been pulled off
the market. She had no idea that the very
implants she had inside of her had been recalled
by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). She
spent a weekend looking into the connection
between her breast implants and cancer they had
been known to cause. The longer I thought about
it, I thought, Theres no way Im keeping these
in my body, said Mrs. Peterson. She had already
survived breast cancer once, and she did not want
to go through battling another type of cancer.

The FDA has issued a recall for textured breast
implants manufactured by Allergan. Their recall
notice states, in part, that they were issuing
the recall to protect consumers from the
increased risk of breast implant-associated
anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL),
associated with Allergan BIOCELL textured breast
implants
BIA-ALCA is not breast cancer. Rather, it is a
rare type of cancer found in the scar tissue and
fluid near the breast implant. The FDA says that
there have been hundreds of BIA-ALCL cases and
that dozens have died due to cancer.
5
The FDA has said that the removal of these
implants is not currently recommended for those
who have them if they have no signs or symptoms
of BIA-ALCL. However, this does not make many
women, like Michelle Peterson, any less wary.
Women who have Allergan textured breast implants
should speak to their doctors as soon as
possible, both for cancer screenings as well as
their options moving forward.
