Legal Action for Failed Embryo Development Due to Defective IVF Media

CooperSurgical IVF Embryo Culture Media Under Fire

Hopeful families across the U.S. are now pursuing legal action after CooperSurgical, Inc. distributed defective embryo culture media used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. The faulty product has been linked to the failure of embryos to develop properly, destroying the last hopes of many individuals and couples to start a family.

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, we’re representing families impacted by this heartbreaking error. If your IVF treatment failed and you suspect CooperSurgical embryo fluid may be the cause, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and seek financial compensation.


What Is the CooperSurgical IVF Embryo Lawsuit About?

CooperSurgical’s recalled embryo culture media was intended to support early embryo development. Instead, patients and clinics began reporting failed embryo growth at the blastocyst stage—a critical point in IVF.

According to the FDA, CooperSurgical issued a Class II recall on December 13, 2023, after distributing nearly 1,000 defective bottles of IVF culture solution nationwide. Despite this recall, the damage had already been done for many families.

Lots Affected by the Recall:


IVF Is an Expensive, Painful, and Emotionally Taxing Process

For many people, IVF is not just a medical procedure—it’s their last chance to build a family. Patients invest physically, emotionally, and financially in the IVF process:

  • Hormonal injections and egg extraction surgery

  • Emotional toll of repeated treatments

  • Tens of thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs

  • Limited number of viable eggs, especially in older patients

When a product failure like this occurs, it robs people not only of money—but of dreams, time, and biological opportunity.

Class Action & MDL Status – August 2024 Update

A consumer class action lawsuit has been filed against CooperSurgical, claiming the defective embryo media caused the loss of thousands of embryos. More than 30 lawsuits are currently pending across the U.S., and the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) is expected to decide on consolidation into a federal MDL (multidistrict litigation).

This coordinated litigation seeks to recover:

  • IVF treatment costs

  • Emotional distress damages

  • Costs for future fertility options (such as egg donors or surrogacy)


Who Can File a CooperSurgical IVF Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to join an IVF embryo fluid lawsuit if:

  • You underwent IVF treatment in November or December 2023, or shortly before or after

  • You were notified of the use of CooperSurgical embryo culture media

  • Your embryos failed to develop or were destroyed during the culture phase

  • You experienced emotional, financial, or physical harm due to the failed IVF cycle

Even if you did not receive a recall notice, you may still qualify. New reports suggest CooperSurgical’s product may have been defective for a broader time frame than initially disclosed.


Where Was the Defective Product Distributed?

CooperSurgical’s IVF embryo solution was distributed to fertility clinics in over 30 states, including:

California, Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Arizona, Washington, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and more.

If you received IVF services in late 2023 or early 2024 in one of these states, and your embryo development failed, your clinic may have used the recalled product.
