VOICED: French breast implant scandal continues to spread

French investigators have launched a probe into PIP, a silicon implant manufacturer, after complaints about substandard gel increasing rupture risks. A health watchdog advised 30,000 French women to remove these implants. PIP's founder claimed the gel was high quality, but surgeons disagreed, citing health risks and potential cancer links. The issue affects 300,000 women globally, raising concerns about who will cover removal costs and potential legal actions. France is considering new regulations for medical devices.
