Woman loses bid to have breast implants lawsuit reinstated

http://www.kwqc.com/Global/story.asp?S=2920593

DENVER A Colorado woman who says a breast implant caused her to suffer
an autoimmune-type disease has lost her bid to have her lawsuit
reinstated against Deerfield- (Illinois) based Baxter Healthcare.
A three-judge panel of the Tenth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals in
Denver
ruled today that Dee Norris didn't present sufficient evidence showing
that the silicone gel implants caused her disease and waited too long
to file her lawsuit.

Norris filed the lawsuit in 1991 in Boulder, Colorado over injuries
she
said were caused by the implants made by Baxter. She underwent breast
augmentation surgery in 1974 and had the implant surgically replaced
in
1978.

She says she started suffering from a variety of ailments beginning in
1987.
