New knowledge about silicone breast implants manufactured by Poly Implant Prothèse
The Danish National Board of Health has been informed by the French health authorities that PIP silicone breast implants, manufactured before 2001, are suspected of leaking silicone more frequently than other implants. Previous warnings have only covered implants manufactured after 2001. However, the Danish National Board of Health is not aware that any PIP implants (also sold under the name Rofil) have been sold in Denmark before 2004.

International risk assessment of PIP implants
The EU Commission has just published a scientific risk assessment of breast implants from the French company PIP, Poly Implant Prothese. The report goes through the problems related to the implants, e.g. the frequency of leaking and the risk of various types of cancer. The main conclusion of the report is that the available data is still too limited to determine conclusively whether or not PIP implants are associated with health risks.
