There are far too many very important details here to excerpt. A "must read" for all of us whether we have any kind of implant or not.

This makes me SO angry! "Free Market" ? We have no idea what we are getting, and items that can be created for $25.00 can be marketed for 25K, so unlimited profit margins make what FEW financial judgements people eventually get as "justice", more like they are coughing up *"5% of ONE Day's Profits"*.
Same thing when my kidneys started failing and I had to research the Vaginal Mesh. NDAs accompanied any judgements and they KEPT SELLING them and IMPLANTING them into women. I think they still ARE.
