A woman in New York City takes legal action after she has an abortion due to alleged false paternity test results.
The Anonymous Woman, 28, Filed an AMENDED Complaint Against Winn Health Labs in the Bronx and Ohio’s DNA Diagnostics Center Earlier This Week, After She Said She Made The “Excruciating Decision” To Get An Abortion Last Year in An Effort To “Salvage” Salvage Her “Salvag Allegedly Said Another Man was likely her baby’s Father.
In the mood, the woman – who first took legal action in March – claimed an “IT error” for incorrect test results, and there was a “0.0%chance that the other man was the father of her child. She said she discovered the error after receiving the abortion.
“My daughter would have been born on the 17th,” the woman told New York Post. “I sadden. I have only many feelings. These results were the reason I decided to do what I did.”
In a statement to Post and NBC New YorkA spokesman for the DNA diagnostic center said that, over three decades, “DDC has provided reliable and accurate tests to millions of customers.”
“If any question or concern is raised, we take immediate action, and DDC will carry out a re -examination to validate the first result,” added the company’s representative. “We have established industry -leading processes and best practice in our laboratory and companies to ensure that customers are quickly announced if problems and quality assurance stages are followed.”
Winn Health Labs and DNA Diagnostics Center did not immediately respond to people’s request for comment on Saturday, April 12.

According to the documents obtained by People, submitted in New York on April 7, the woman was engaged to her partner, and they tried to have a child for “several months.” At one point, they separated for some time, partly because of their “inability to become pregnant,” the document says.
As the woman told PostShe and her fiancé – identified as John Doe in the archiving – broke up a total of three weeks last summer. During that time, she had a “sexual meeting” with another man-identified as the Jack Doe-In-Ine and her then hubby met again and again tried to start a family.
Around August 11, the woman said she discovered that she was pregnant, but a home home test that she took later this month with Jack Doe came back “unsurpassing”, according to the archiving.
As a result, and in an attempt to be “sure the child was not Jack Doe’s baby”, the New York woman extended to DDC around October 19, paid for “Personal, non-invasive Prenatal paternity test” and took Jack Doe with her to Winn Health Labs, because she “carefully searched for security.
Two days later, the woman entered the scene – of which some “were actually a hairdressing salon”, she said, according to the legal document – and got her blood drawn while Jack Doe made a Buccal Swab.
She and John Doe “continued to work with their relationship” and had a “gender -revival party” for the child, a girl, October 26. Five days later, to her “complete surprise”, the woman discovered that the test “showed that Jack Doe, not her hubby John Doe, was the father with 99.99% security,” according to the application.
The news was a “devastating setback for her and John Does relationship,” the documents say. They add the trial that led to “a week of anxiety, stress, arguments, confrontations and conversations” with their partner and other family members, before the woman made the decision to end pregnancy “in an attempt to save her relationship.”
The woman finished her pregnancy on November 7, before moving out of the apartment she shared with her hubby, because they “struggled with the consequences of her decision”, even though she tried to “come back to a healthy relationship.”
As the woman told NBC New York, she would not have finished her pregnancy if the results had been correct the first time.
“You removed the family I could have had. This was the person I got married. This is the person I wanted to build a family with,” she said. “The reason I took action was because I believed in these results. I thought it was something that was a hundred percent true. And that led me to the abortion.”

Just over three months later, on February 14, a DDC representative called the woman. When she and Jack Doe returned the conversation, they discovered “it had been” an IT error “and that there was actually a 0.0% chance that Jack Doe was the father of her child,” the application claims.
The document claims that the defendants “had an obligation to correctly collect copies for testing, exact label said copies, properly deliver and handles said samples and ultimately provides exact results for DNA -Father’s test for which the complainant paid”, as well as a responsibility to “in the right time and accurately use the test results and use quality control
The woman and her hubby finished her relationship last month, she told Post.
Her lawyer, Craig Phemister, told the outlet that it “just doesn’t make sense”, adds, “when you know that people rely immediately on paternity tests to make life decisions, why took them four months to call?”
Overall, the archiving claims that the defendants gave the woman, five months pregnant, “incorrect DNA -Patrius test result, and knew she would have very little time to make a decision to keep her pregnancy or not” before “outrageously failed to inform” her about the error until months later.
The woman now claims that she suffered “irrevocable loss and injury”, as well as “mental disorder”, “humiliation” and “financial loss”, according to the legal document.
