The first and most obvious, is the failure of their quality control review process, which allowed an industrial grade product to be implanted into tens of thousands of unsuspecting women; second, by relying on inconclusive animal tests when far more reliable methods are available; and third, the\u00a0MHRA\u00a0should have been far more cautious at a time when published scientific evidence warned about the adverse human health effects of such implants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Menache adds, &#8220;Silicone products are linked to cancer and to autoimmune diseases. People should think twice before putting silicone implants inside their bodies. Once the implant leaks the silicone can reach other parts of the body.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Antidote Europe is a not for profit\u00a0NGO\u00a0that promotes sound scientific methods of research and campaigns on issues of consumer safety<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/antidote-europe.eu\/\">https:\/\/antidote-europe.eu<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>CONTACT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/antidote-europe.eu\/persons\/andre-menache\">Andr\u00e9 M\u00e9nache<\/a><br \/>\nMob: (0790) 644-6889<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a letter addressed to the chief executive of the\u00a0MHRA, the consumer watchdog Antidote Europe today accused the\u00a0MHRA\u00a0of failing in its mission to protect the public.
