Two new lawsuits have been filed against an Ohio fertility clinic that lost 4,000 eggs and embryos
Almost two years ago, a freezer malfunction at an Ohio fertility clinic may have destroyed hundreds of patients' chances at having biological children.
Devastated families spoke out about their grief. Some created a memorial at a cemetery for the 4,000 eggs and embryos lost. Now, two new lawsuits were filed Wednesday against University Hospitals Fertility Clinic in Cleveland, where the disaster happened. The plaintiffs include a woman with no children who lost nine frozen eggs, and a couple who were hoping to grow their family but lost five embryos.
