To Maeve and anyone who is interested,

Since I last posted, I have decided to contact the company myself to
tell them my story and ask for compensation. If you would like to do
the same, try this address:

Mr. Jean-Claude Mas
Heritage Worldwide, Inc.
337 Avenue de Bruxelles
La Seyne-Sur-Mer 83507
France
Telephone: 011-334-941-098-10

PIP, Inc. was purchased by Heritage Worldwide, Inc., and they are
still manufacturing breast implants, saline and cohesive gel.
