“More and more cases came to light, and in November 2009 Hannelore (quality control man, who answered a blind ad for this position) refused to sign off on the products.“Rather late to have an attack of conscience” says Yves Haddad, lawyer for Jean-Claude Mas”
“Jean-Claude Mas, paid they Tüv to speed up the procedure necessary to gain EU certification for his products. I did the same as everybody else, I paid a company to get the CE stamp. He ordered staff to dispose of cans of non-authorized products in a special place, sometimes telling them to put the cans in a lorry which was then driven away by his son. After obtaining the CE stamp of approval, for six months PIP manufactured implants using approved gel, but soon began to use sub-standard gel in order to cut production costs”
The person in charge of quality control, 35 year old Hannelore, told police that Mas and representatives from Tüv consulted with each other to choose dates for inspections, and that Mas made sure that special arrangements were put in place for those inspections. The person in charge of computer records was told to remove all information concerning certain suppliers from the database and re insert it after the audit."
In May and December of 2006, two groups of victims whose implants ruptured sued PIP in England and the company was ordered to pay 2.3 million euros in damages.
