Linda Blair
I am sharing my breast implant nightmare publicly for the first time
today. Even though this is very personal and private, I must speak
out.
No one ever warned me about the problems with breast implants. If the
FDA approves them, women will assume they are safe. They are not. I am
living proof. I was sick for years after I had my implants. Now that
they've been removed I am finally starting to feel better.
It's crazy for the U.S. FDA to let these be sold after looking at less
than three years of information. A lot of women are still happy with
their implants after a few years. Our problems start later and get
worse and worse as the years go on.
Isn't it the FDA's job to protect people from harmful food, drugs and
devices? I am joining my colleagues in the entertainment industry to
ask the FDA to do its job.
