What to Do If You Have You Been Affected by Defective IVF Culture Media in Ohio

March 15, 2024 | CooperSurgical IVF Solution

Ohio residents undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures need to know that CooperSurgical issued a recall notice for three batches of its embryo culture media due to serious complaints of impaired and unusable embryo development.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a recall notice stating that nearly 1,000 bottles of CooperSurgical culture media were affected, about half of which were purchased by clinics in the United States. According to the available information, the media recall was due to a lack of Magnesium, an essential nutrient for embryos’ growth.

At Oliver Law Office, our Columbus CooperSurgical IVF culture media recall lawyers deeply empathize with the individuals and families impacted by the use of this defective solution at their Ohio fertility clinics. We are committed to doing all we can to help you through this challenging time and to assist you in pursuing a legal remedy that meets your physical, emotional, and financial recovery needs.

What Steps Should I Take to Understand If My Embryos Were Impacted by CooperSurgical’s Culture Media Solution?

If your IVF clinic has not contacted you, contact your fertility specialist right away to learn if any of the defective culture media were used to help fertilize your embryos.

The three culture media LGGG Lots that were recalled include the following:

• LGGG-020: UDI-DI 00815965020044, lot 231020-018741
• LGGG-050: UDI-DI 00815965020051, lot 231020-018742
• LGGG-100: UDI-DI 00815965020068, lot 231020-018743

Keep detailed records of all communications with your IVF clinic, healthcare providers, and other involved parties. Document dates, times, specifics of conversations, and any instructions or recommendations provided to you.

If the defective CooperSurgical media culture destroyed your embryos, report the issue to relevant regulatory authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration, through their MedWatch program. Reporting adverse events helps regulatory agencies track and address safety concerns related to defective medical products.

Collect evidence of using CooperSurgical’s defective media culture solutions, including invoices, receipts, medical records, and documentation from your IVF clinic. This evidence can be crucial in supporting any legal claims or investigations.
