Although there are no recent updates regarding the Allergan breast implant multi-district litigation (MDL), it’s important to emphasize that you can—and should—consult with a lawyer, no matter when you received your Allergan BIOCELL breast implants. Legal deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, do apply, meaning you have a limited window to take action. However, these timeframes typically begin from the moment you knew, or reasonably should have known, that your implant caused harm.

With that in mind, individuals who have developed BIA-ALCL after receiving Allergan BIOCELL breast implants in recent years (or even earlier in some cases) may still have time to file a claim. This applies even to those who had their implants long before the concerns about Allergan’s BIOCELL implants became widely known in 2019.
