Silicone breasts
CANBERRA. The government on Tuesday followed up a US moratorium on silicone breast Implants by ordering several brands taken off the Australian market because their makers cannot prove they are safe, reports AP.
The US Food and Drug Administration has asked surgeons to slop using the implants temporarily while its studies evidence linking silicone implants with cancer and chronic Inflammatory disease.
Health Minister Brian Howe said Australian health officials are urgently seeking information from the FDA about the moratorium.
The government ordered manufactures in July to submit information on their products quality, Howe said. He said implants made by manufacturers that did not submit information were being ordered off the market.
He did not say which brands of implants would be withdrawn.
Howe said he was concerned the FDA action may cause alarm for Australian women with implants, and stressed that neither the US moratorium nor Australian inquiries affected saline-filled implants.
The FDA said in Washington it had received about 2,500 reports of Illnesses or injuries associated with some Implants. It will decide within 45 days whether to allow their continued use.
It said one million American women had received gel implants, with 150,000 implanted annually.
