DNA Diagnostics Center’s trial: ‘I am sad’: Abortion has occurred due to Women’s Sus DNA lab after wrong paternity test

A 28 -year -old woman of Yenkar has filed a federal case against DNA Diagnostics Center and Winn Health Labs, alleging that a faulty paternity test motivated her to end her pregnancy and unknowingly finished her engagement, only months later to know that the test results were wrong.
With tears in her eyes, the woman, who asked to stay anonymous, said, “My daughter must have been born on April 17 … These were the results that I decided to do what I did.”
The woman and her fiancés were trying to conceive for some time when they were briefly broken in the last summer due to the stress of breeding issues. During that time, she had a single encounter with another man, although she claims that security was used. When she later came to know that she was pregnant, she believed that her fiancée was father.
But to avoid future suspicion, he arranged a paternity test with his former partner.
After spending more than $ 1,000 on two inconvenient tests, the woman turned to the DNA Diagnostics Center, a firm that claims to be a global leader in the DNA test. He provided samples at the Winn Health Labs in Bronx, a site is also working as a beauty salon, which raises concerns about professionalism and privacy.
According to NBC News, his lawyer Craig Fmister said, “If you are going to ask for paternity test, you don’t want to do that people are doing their hair.”
The results returned to Halloween at 2024, which showed 99.99% likely that the second man was the father. With the range of a 24-week abortion of New York, he chose to end pregnancy. “I decided to save my marriage,” NBC quoted her. “I felt that this is a hundred percent true”, he said.
But on Valentine’s Day, four months later, DNA Diagnostics said with shocking news that there was an “error”, and a person identified as a father was not connected to a biologically unborn child. A correct report showed a 0% match.
By then, the emotional decline was irreversible. Restored by the results of the initial test and its decision, his fiancée ended the relationship soon after the improvement.
“You took away the family that I could have,” he said. He said, “I took action because I believed in these results”.
DNA diagnostics refused to explain how the error occurred but claimed that it maintains rigorous quality control. The company said in a statement, “If any concern is increased, we take immediate action to validate the results and inform customers of any issue,” the company said in a statement.
This is not the first time the lab has faced investigation. In 2018, a connecting person, Joel Santiago, was given misinformation that he was not the father of his daughter, a mistake was corrected after 18 months.
He successfully sued DNA diagnostics and was awarded $ 2.5 million.
Fmister says that implications go far beyond a case. “The same DNA labs are doing tests dependent on the court system,” he said. “If they do errors and then do not discover those errors for months or years, then the life of the people is destroyed”, Fmister said.
Now in therapy, Yonkar woman hopes that her story will accelerate accountability. “How many other people did?” He asked.
