Mentor or McGhan Saline Breast Implant Replacement or Warranty Policy?

Honest1
What is the manufacturers Mentor or McGhan's replacement/warranty policy of saline breast implants from the early 90's? I just had to have 1 removed on 6/9/09 (emergency) due to the implant breaking through the skin (swelling, rash, infection; never figured out what type, and implant broke through skin along with saline/pus). The surgeon told me she has never seen anything like it in her 25 years as a surgeon. I am not sure of the which of the 2 manufacturerer's my implants are from. However, I did get the hospital to give me the implant. Please advise.
