Parents win Rs 2.16 lakh after company throws away newborn's cord blood sample
NEW DELHI: A Punjab district consumer commission, in an order dated July 14, directed Cordlife Sciences India to pay over Rs 2.16 lakh to a couple after it discarded their newborn's umbilical cord blood sample over delay in payment. The commission said the company acted unfairly because the couple had never refused to pay and were not given a chance to make the payment before the sample was discarded.
