Yonkers Woman Sues DNA Labs After Erroneous Paternity Test Led to Abortion

The woman alleges an IT error at two labs caused her to terminate her pregnancy and lose her long-term relationship, sparking legal and ethical scrutiny.

• A Yonkers woman is suing Winn Health Labs and DNA Diagnostics Centre after a paternity test error led her to abort her 20-week pregnancy.
• The labs, citing an IT malfunction, admitted months later that the test results were incorrect, revealing her fiancé was the biological father.
• The woman, now in therapy, claims the delay in notifying her of the mistake caused irreversible harm, including the end of her relationship.
• DNA Diagnostics Centre, which has conducted over 20 million tests, defends its reputation, stating it acts promptly when issues arise.
• The case raises broader concerns about the reliability of DNA testing in life-altering decisions and the accountability of laboratories.
