There is some erroneous information put together by John Langone on 8/22/96. He states under Pt (or Sn) in Breast Implants:

1. Hexachloroplatinate/hexachloroplatinic acid used as a catalyst in munufacture of silicone breast implants (?)

-McGhan until 1987 (now Sn salts; Harbut) THE FDA STATES MCGHAN USES PLATINUM IN THEIR CURRENT GEL-FILLED IMPLANTS.

-D-C (DOW CORNING): NEVER used (Pt-vinyl siloxane complex; Burns) COURT STAMPED DOCUMENTS INDICATES CHLOROPLATINIC ACID WAS USED
