Couples Sue IVF Provider Alleging Its Clinic Destroyed Their Embryos in Toxic Solution

Two couples have filed lawsuits against in vitro fertilization provider Ovation Fertility alleging its clinic destroyed their embryos when a lab employee wrongly used hydrogen peroxide instead of a sterile solution in an incubator.

The couples allege that the clinic still used the embryos despite knowing they were nonviable. Neither woman got pregnant.

The couples are not revealing their names in the lawsuits to protect their privacy, according to the suits.
