SAN DIEGO — Tens of thousands of women have claimed their breast implants are making them sick. It’s a story News 8 has been closely covering for months and on Tuesday the Food and Drug Administration continued a public hearing on the subject of "breast implant illness.”

Dr. Tim Sayed spoke with Morning Extra about what was being discussed as the FDA meeting continued.
