Contradiction regarding Venezuela
Source #24 (refname=nc) writes "Venezuela has promised to replace them free of charge;" but on 2012-01-08 IP 186.93.217.226 (CANTV Servicios, Venezuela) edited that to "promised to remove them free of charge". Which statement is correct?, sources? Electron9 (talk) 16:00, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

== Contradiction regarding Sweden also: The current text on wikipedia reads "The agency also recommends that the implants to be removed.". If you follow ref 15, you find that: "The Swedish Medical Products Agency is unwilling to comment on the French recommendation to surgically remove these implants.". According to SMPs webpage, http://www.lakemedelsverket.se/OVRIGA-SIDOR/PIP-brostimplantat/, their current advice is under review, but their advice reads "Att byta ut ett implantat medför i de flesta fall större risker än att behålla ett som inte orsakar besvär.". Translated to english it reads :"To replace an implant, in most cases leads to greater risks than keeping one that is not [currently] causing any trouble.". I will check up on this a bit more, and unless anyone objects, I will probably change the text about the Swedish authority's reccomendation.212.85.89.247 (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Quotes
The Wikipedia Style Manual page for quotes says "Do not put quotations in italics unless the material would otherwise call for italics..." so I removed the italics. Nick Beeson (talk) 17:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
