In early 2010, PIP was ordered out of the market, but its products continued to be sold around the world. Brashares is from a women's interest group. She says hundreds of thousands of women may be affected. "PIP has been the world's third-largest producer of silicone implants manufacturers. More than 80 percent of their products were exported to other countries, therefore, we estimate that there may be up to 400000 potential victims in the world." According to a report, PIP's 2010 bankruptcy filing shows that it had exported 84 percent of its annual production of 100,000 implants. Between 2007 and 2009, 50 to 58 percent of its exports went to South American countries including Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. In the same period, 27 to 28 percent of exports went to western European nations including Britain, Spain, Italy and Germany.
