Fertility, IVF, and Embryo/Egg Loss Injuries

Lieff Cabraser is investigating claims by fertility clinic patients who allege the negligent destruction of preserved embryos at Reproductive Partners Medical Group clinic in Torrance, California in early June 2026. Internal investigations are reportedly ongoing, but the clinic may have received tanks with the incorrect percentage of gas, the use of which led to multiple patients/families suffering total embryo loss.

Lieff Cabraser represents hopeful parents who have been injured by cryogenic storage facilities, fertility clinics, genetic testing laboratories, and IVF supply manufacturers nationwide. We are currently investigating cases involving reproductive health and fertility assistance services against multiple companies including CooperSurgical and Ovation Genetics/Ovation Fertility.

In June 2021, plaintiffs won a $15 million verdict in the San Francisco Pacific Fertility Center cryogenic tank failure egg & embryo destruction lawsuit. The jury found the freezer tank manufacturer to be most at fault, though the clinic also shared some of the blame for the tragic losses. In the 2018 complaint, patients alleged the clinic destroyed or seriously damaged hundreds of cryogenically preserved eggs and embryos stored at its facility in San Francisco after liquid nitrogen depletion in one of its storage tanks.
