Federal regulators have recalled textured breast implants manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Allergan, after linking them to an increasing number of deaths and illnesses. Medical researchers say the implants can lead to a rare form of lymphoma, an immune system cancer that begins in the tissues surrounding implant sites. According to the FDA, there have been 570 confirmed cases of the rare lymphoma worldwide, with four-fifths of the cases linked to Allergan implants.
