Allergan Plc will stop selling some breast implants after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that textured implants had been associated with a rare type of blood cancer.

Allergan’s textured Biocell saline-filled and silicone-filled breast implants and tissue expanders will no longer be distributed or available around the world, Allergan said in a statementBloomberg Terminal Wednesday. The company asked health-care providers to not use new Biocell implants and to return unused products.
