On Jun. 7, 2019, Health Canada provided two published articles detailing breast implant models that were being voluntarily recalled by Allergan. The Canadian implant recall took place because “Health Canada has suspended the licenses for Allergan’s BioCell textured breast implants . . . , based upon the rare but serious risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL).”
Although the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has declared that Allergan’s textured products are safe for consumers, the Canadian implant recall establishes Health Canada in opposition to the FDA’s opinion. Despite this, Allergan Canada is voluntarily removing their products without qualms. Most of the products affected by the Canadian implant recall have been removed as the result of Health Canada’s suspension of the licenses for Allergan’s BioCell textured implants. As part of the Canadian implant recall, Allergan has recalled the following models:
Health Canada has called for all remaining implants to be returned or disposed of. For more information about the risks and recalls of textured breast implants, see Parker Waichman’s in-depth coverage of breast-implant lymphomas here.
Although Allergan has only recalled products in France and Canada, the Canadian implant recall is a contributing factor to the claim that textured breast implants are unsafe consumer products. If you or a loved one have become afflicted with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma or other symptoms of breast implant complications, don’t wait.
