now while they do include a request to help support a petition to request the procedures be stopped until its made sfaer, its not being done through any legal entity or for the purpose of a lawsuit. just like anything found to be harmful it is prudent to want it stopped until they can be made safer so no one is injured, I think that's a reasonable response to any medical procedure that injures even a small percentage of people.
the information is out there if you look for it and yes checking into who is giving you the info and that it is unbiased info is key.
