Fertility Tech Company Faces Wave of Lawsuits after Recalling Faulty Liquid Product
(February 20, 2024) – Clinics around the world have used botched I.V.F liquid by CooperSurgical, destroying potentially thousands of embryos.
In just two months, eight legal actions have been initiated against CooperSurgical, for distributing a defective product designed for in vitro fertilization procedures.
According to regulatory authorities, CooperSurgical issued recalls for numerous batches of their in vitro fertilization (I.V.F.) product, which lacked a vital nutrient, Magnesium.
On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration issued a recall notice, indicating that the faulty distribution may have affected thousands of patients.
The exact number of families impacted remains uncertain at this time. However, Mitchel Schiewe, an embryologist and laboratory director at California Fertility Partners, estimates the affected number could be as many as 20,000.
With the emergence of another affected family, CooperSurgical now faces eight lawsuits related to the botched liquid I.V.F. product. Families worldwide are grappling with the emotional aftermath of having their conception chances compromised.
