People need to sign this petition because synthetic medical mesh implants among other permanent surgically implanted devices can be fast tracked through the FDA 510 process which allows clearance of medical devices without significant or any testing on humans because they are substantially the same as a predicate device.
The identified problem is that the FDA has no recourse to recall subsequent devices when the predicate device is recalled because of defects and higher complications and death rates than predicted.
Devices that subsequently escaped long term and in depth testing by an agency with no affiliation with manufacturers are now in the bodies of men and women.
