FDA tells Mentor Corp.: Silicone boobs "approvable"
The National Women's Health Network announced to news subscribers today that the Food and Drug Adminstration has told Mentor Corporation that its silicone gel breast implant is "approvable" -- meaning that they could soon be allowed back into the market. Wow. We at ChronicBabe can't believe ladies are still considering these, with all the anecdotal evidence pointing to the negative impact they can have on health.
From the NWHN announcement: "The National Women's Health Network opposed approval of Mentor's breast implants because the company did not provide enough data to show that it would be safe for a woman to use them over the many years that the breast implants will remain inside her body. In fact, the FDA's own scientists who reviewed the application concluded that the company had not adequately answered the safety questions that the agency had asked it to address."
