While CooperSurgical did not make any attempt to communicate with the families in Richmond who suffered embryo loss, the fertility company did contact each Richmond clinic. Clinics that were using the defective lots of CooperSurgical IVF culture media were asked to return the product to the company for a refund.

Aren't most drug and products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff receives very little money?

CooperSurgical IVF lawsuit claims from Richmond residents are likely to be consolidated with others from around the nation as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, where each plaintiff receives a settlement based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff. This process increases the efficiency of processing vast numbers of cases against a corporation, all related to one defective product.

Why didn't CooperSurgical announce the recall to consumers in Richmond?

On December 13, 2023, CooperSurgical quietly issued a product recall to its customers, fertility clinics located in the Richmond area and around the United States. In this communication, the company identified three lot numbers of its IVF culture media, a substance that has been carefully formulated to mimic the environment of a healthy human womb. In the weeks prior, the company had received a growing number of reports from embryologists, stating that embryos were ceasing to develop to the blastocyst stage when exposed to CooperSurgical's IVF culture media. It is anyone's guess why the company did not guide Richmond fertility clinics in notifying their patients about the cause of the widespread embryo loss. It was not until two months later, on February 14, 2024, that the FDA made CooperSurgical's Class 2 Global Device Recall public and fertility patients in Richmond learned of the defect.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If you or a loved one in Richmond lost precious human embryos as a result of a defective product, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective product, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
