Czech Republic recommends faulty implants removal (AP)

PRAGUE ? The Health Ministry is recommending that some 2,000 Czech women who have potentially faulty French-made breast implants have them removed.

Spokesman Vlastimil Srsen said Friday the ministry reached its decision after consultations with experts.

He said the women with implants made by the now-defunct French company Poly Implant Prothese, or PIP, should consult their doctors.

The PIP implants were pulled from the market last year in several countries in and beyond Europe due to fears they could rupture and leak silicone into the body.

France has said it will pay for some 30,000 French women to have their implants removed, after more than 1,000 ruptures.
