CBR’s Umbilical Cord Blood Banking Program
Case Name (Date)
Camarena et al. v. CBR Systems, Inc.
24-cv-21159, S.D. Fla.
(March 2024)
Product/Service
CBR’s umbilical cord blood banking program
Allegations
Deceptively representing that stored umbilical cord blood and tissue may be used to treat at least 80 serious medical conditions and may be approved to treat additional medical conditions and injuries in the future when the FDA has approved cord blood to treat only seven medical conditions and has not approved cord tissue to treat any medical condition
Failing to disclose that the odds of being able to use the child’s own cord blood or tissue as a treatment is “virtually zero” because the child’s cord blood often contains the defects that caused the medical condition
