CooperSurgical Faces Lawsuits Over Destroyed Embryos

CooperSurgical is facing lawsuits from patients claiming that one of its products destroyed embryos created with in vitro fertilization. The company had recalled three lots of the nutrient-rich liquid used by fertility clinics, affecting thousands of patients. Federal regulators made public that affected clinics were notified to stop using the product due to performance issues that may lead to impaired embryo development.
