Closed petition A Public Enquiry into the PIP Breast Implant Fraud

Closed on 24 May 2013

We want to call for a public enquiry into the PIP breast implant scandal to establish if official reaction was sufficient.

We want full public disclosure of the exact details of MHRA toxicity testing. These devices have been in our bodies for many years, we feel we have a right to know what has been found in relation to substance properties, in particular molecular weight, capacity to migrate across membranes, and chemical content.

We want a full investigation into the set of symptoms commonly-reported by women who have had PIP implants, through gathering patient-reported experiences, and also through the examination of medical records.

We also want the Government to enforce the law in regards to clinics who sold the defective medical devices to consumers. They have a 'legal and moral' obligation to remove and replace the faulty product, or refund consumers. If they don't they should lose their license to practice. A 'legal' obligation is meaningless if it is not enforced.
