TAKE ACTION: Congress Must Investigate FDA Handling Of Silicone Breast Implant Approval Process

It is so important that everyone sign this -- and if possible, write a separate letter and mail it to your congressional people AND members of the Health and Human Services Committee.

In less than a year I have received notices from the FDA about either the recall, additional warnings, and adverse events on at least 51 medications or devices -- items that had been approved without sufficient proof of safety for long term use, varying from a Patient Lift device to medications that can result in everything from Sepsis to anaphylaxis, from dermatological problems to Heart Attack and/or stroke.

One Medwatch message from July 2004 alone listed 33 drug products with safety label changes warning of contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events.. I do not have a list of the implantable device warnings, recalls, etc, but there have been many.

Please act on this to prevent other women and children from suffering the consequences such as we have.

Carolyn

Congress Must Investigate FDA's Handling Of Silicone Breast Implant Approval Process		Take Action!
Put Safety Before Sales!

We remain deeply concerned that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expressed its intent to approve silicone breast implants made by Mentor Corporation, despite the lack of safety data and despite serious allegations that the company misrepresented safety information. Congress must conduct an investigation and oversight hearing into the FDA's handling of the approval process and determine whether Mentor falsified data and destroyed evidence. Please write Congress NOW!
