Jury Awards Almost $15M To Plaintiffs Who Lost Embryos, Eggs After Fertility Clinic Incident

A group of patients was awarded almost $15 million after a California fertility clinic’s tank failed in 2018, destroying embryos, eggs, and other genetic material. 

Last week, a jury found “cryo-preservation tank manufacturer, Chart Inc., liable on all claims, and awarded $14.975 million in aggregate damages to the five plaintiffs,” according to Business Wire. The jurors reportedly found the tank manufacturer 90% responsible, but placed 10% responsibility on the fertility clinic, per Courthouse News Service.
