Fertility Tech Company Faces Surge of Lawsuits after Botched I.V.F. Kills Embryos
CooperSurgical Recalls Defective I.V.F. Product, Potentially Thousands Affected
(March 6, 2024) – One of the world’s largest fertility tech companies is currently facing a surge of lawsuits following a mishap in their in vitro fertilization (I.V.F.) procedures that led to the destruction of embryos.
The I.V.F. liquid, designed to enhance the fertilization process, has come under scrutiny as CooperSurgical announced the recall of several lots due to a crucial nutrient, Magnesium, being absent.
Despite its intended purpose, the flawed liquid rendered embryos unusable, leaving families devastated as they learned about the loss of their chances for conception.
The exact number of affected patients is currently unknown, but embryologist and laboratory director at California Fertility Partners, Mitchel C. Schiewe, estimates the figure to be approximately 20,000 if only half of the purchased bottles were utilized.
As a result of the product recall, eight lawsuits have been filed against CooperSurgical. If you or someone you know has used defective products by CooperSurgical Incorporated, you are not alone. Collect any and all documentation, and contact an attorney as soon as possible.
