Yonkers Woman Sues DNA Labs After Wrong Paternity Test Leads to Abortion

A 28-year-old woman from Yonkers has filed a lawsuit against DNA Diagnostics Center and Winn Health Labs, alleging that incorrect paternity test results led her to terminate her pregnancy and lose her engagement. The woman received results indicating a 99.99% probability that another man was the father, prompting her to make the 'excruciating decision' to abort, as she sought to salvage her relationship with her fiancé. Months later, she was informed there had been an 'IT error,' revealing the correct result showed a 0% match with the other man. Her emotional turmoil is compounded by the fact that she had already held a gender-reveal party in anticipation of the baby's arrival. DNA Diagnostics Center has stated it takes any issues seriously and will retest if necessary, while the woman is grappling with grief over her lost child and relationship. The lawsuit highlights the gravity of reliance on medical tests and the potential repercussions of errors in such sensitive situations.
