A manufacturer of breast implants that has been linked to cancer will face thousands of women in a class action.
Shine Lawyers has brought the action against Allergen four years after its products were recalled because of a link between the implants and a likelihood of developing lymphatic cancer.
It was reported that one in every 2,500–3,000 women with the breast implants will develop breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) within eight years of the insertion.
