Why this petition matters

Started by Renee Ridgeley

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has known since 2011 that textured breast implants can cause a potentially fatal man-made lymphoma: Breast Implant Associated ALCL (BIA-ALCL).  

Thousands of mastectomy patients, like myself, had Allergan textured implants placed inside them with no warning about BIA-ALCL.

Tell the FDA to put a black box warning on textured implants and require mandatory patient-doctor checklist about BIA-ALCL & implant health risks so breast cancer and augmentation patients can make informed decisions about their bodies.
