Life insurance: faulty implants problems

Wednesday, February 6, 2013


Talking about low cost life insurance, the Government has announced that  around 7,000 more women in the UK have received potentially faulty PIP breast implants than previously thought.
Around 47,000 British women in total are now believed to have been given the implants manufactured by closed French company Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP).
The implants were filled with non-medical grade silicone intended for use in mattresses and have been linked to rupture and swelling in the body.
French authorities previously advised that only PIP implants that were used after 2001 may have included the unauthorised gel.
This could bring the total number of women affected by the scandal in the UK to around 47,000, including those affected before and after 2001.
According to the Department of Health, around one in five breast implants need replacing within 10 years, regardless of their make, and it says it is unlikely that all 7,000 extra women still have the implants in place, So we have to take some steps to solve that problem trying to achieve the best low cost life insurance.
