SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 15, 2018 – The Sacramento couple who were to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) in April at the Pacific Fertility Center, of San Francisco, were among the hundreds of couples whose lives have been shattered by the potential destruction of thousands of eggs and embryos by the local fertility clinic. Patients storing eggs or embryos at Pacific Fertility Center can get more information at https://pacificembryolawsuit.com/ about the class action lawsuit filed today by the law firm Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane Abdullah Carr & Kane (PRW).
Today’s case marks the second time this week that PRW has filed a major embryo-loss class action lawsuit. In the wake of the destruction of 2000 eggs and embryos by the University Hospitals Fertility Clinic (UHFC), a class action lawsuit was filed Monday in Cleveland by Peiffer Wolf Carr & Kane Abdullah Carr & Kane. The firm is nationally recognized for its handling of a number of cases involving embryo loss/related cryogenic issues, including one being litigated this week in Orange County.
The couple were planning to schedule a transfer of one or more of their embryos on April 2018. In the meantime, Pacific Fertility stored the embryos—along with thousands of other embryos and eggs—in a cryo-storage tank, Tank No. 4, at Pacific Fertility’s laboratory. The couple paid $600 a year for the storage of their 8 embryos.
The couple was informed that several hundred other Pacific Fertility clients received the same email.
