Ohio Woman Wants Florida Law Changed
April 25th, 2008 by flanewsAs if a trip to the dentist doesn�t cause enough anxiety, now there�s concern about dangerous metals in the implants and crowns. Implants made in China and India and shipped to the U.S. aren�t strictly regulated. The first confirmed case of lead contamination in a crown happened in Ohio earlier this year. Friday the women who found the lead crown, Faye Lewis, addressed lawmakers in Tallahassee to gain support for a bill that would implement stricter regulations on dental imports.
�The way it made me feel was at first fear, concern, and then anger and that�s why I�m here, I�m angry that someone can get away with this, many somebodies obviously,� said Lewis.
The bill cleared the Senate. It�s still waiting to be heard in the House.
