New Findings on Mentor Corporation Reveal Further Disdain for Women's Health
News that breast-implant manufacturer Mentor Corp. corrected a malfunction in the samples it provides to doctors—but did nothing to repair the implants that will be placed in women's bodies—provides further proof that the company puts profits first, and that the FDA must take decisive action against Mentor to protect women's health and safety, said National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy.
According to The Washington Post, the company realized last year—during the time it was applying for approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—that its products were "bleeding" silicone oil. A whistle-blower recently alerted the FDA that although the company fixed the problem in demonstration implants it gives doctors to show to their patients, the modification—which cost pennies more to implement—was never made on the products that would actually be implanted. So women are being shown one product, without being told that an inferior one would be surgically implanted in their bodies.
