Fedex refuses to ship failed breast implants by air . . . $3000 for ground shipment!

[Guest guest]

Personally, I think this situation is the result of

pressure on Fedex . . . by either the manufacturer's

or the plastic surgery industry.

I wonder how many news agencies would be interested in

this news?

Really strange . . . Implants are safe to put in a

woman's body, but too toxic to ship!!!

Beyond insane!

I wonder which other devices receive this

classification?

Does this mean that the plastic surgeons cannot return

failed implants to the manufacturer? . . . Or does

this only apply to Dr. Blais?

IF this applies to the manufacturer's, how are they

going to test failed implants to prove their safety to

the FDA? . . . Will they bill the manufacturer $3000

for shipping? . . . Who's going to pay the bill? Could

it be the sick woman who's having her implants

removed?

If this doesn't apply to the manufacturer's maybe

someone ought to consider suing Fedex!
