A French appeal court has decided that the 2,500 victims of the PIP breast implant scandal should receive compensation after 10 years of fighting for justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

German company TUV Rheinland was found guilty of negligence in an earlier decision made by the court.<\/p>\n

It was revealed that they awarded certificates for faulty implants which ultimately contributed to the scandal and of the thousands of women, 540 Britons were amongst them.<\/p>\n

The implants were found to be filled with cheap, industrial-grade silicone which had not been approved for human use.<\/p>\n

French company Poly Implant Prothese (PIP), made the implants that were more likely to rupture than others.<\/p>\n

It is believed this court ruling will benefit tens of thousands of victims, with approximately 300,000 women from 65 countries, and 47,000 from the UK alone being affected by the defective implants.<\/p>\n

The scandal began in 2010 when the French company, which was certified by the German company, was shut down.<\/p>\n

The victims suffered long-term physical and mental health problems after having the poorly made implants surgically fitted years ago.<\/p>\n

The consequences of fitting the implants, despite containing cheap and industrial grade silicone, caused thousands of women to suffer inflammation in surrounding tissue, ultimately causing complications when having them removed.<\/p>\n

One victim claimed she still had silicon in her organs today, at least 10 years after she had the implants inserted. Other victims reported having aching joints, pain, and fatigue.<\/p>\n

The date compensation will be given has not yet been decided, according to PIPA (PIP Implant World Victims Association).<\/p>\n

PIPA is hoping to obtain between 20,000 and 70,000 euros in compensation damages for every victim, according to a statement in September.<\/p>\n

Three years after the scandal began in 2013, the PIP founder Jean-Claude Mas, was jailed for four years and fined \u00a365,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
