More Patients Come Forward in Northwestern Sperm Destruction Cases

On February 27, 2013, Pfaff & Gill, Ltd. filed suit on behalf of another individual whose sperm samples were destroyed when a Northwestern cryopreservation storage tank failed.  See Chicago Tribune Article.

Since filing suit, Pfaff & Gill has been contacted by other patients who believe their samples have been affected.  Patients who were affected should have received a letter from Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation as well as a phone call from a Northwestern representative.

Recently, all pending legal matters related to this cryopreservation tank failure were assigned to Judge Thomas L.
