Medical device maker Allergan is recalling its entire line of textured breast implants, weeks after dismissing evidence linking them with a rare cancer.

Earlier this month, the TGA announced it was proposing to ban 25 textured implants and tissue expanders after concluding they were associated with a higher risk of developing anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
