Newborn's blood sample ruined in lab accident, family not notified

Health & Medicine

My daughter had some blood drawn at a labcorp facility in Jersey City, NJ on 4/25 (at the time she was 7 weeks old).

On 4/26 the lab in Raritan where the blood was sent had some type of accident and was unable to use the blood. I was never notified until today when I took my daughter for a checkup and questioned her doctor about the results. They look through the file and nothing was there so the nurse called and was told there was a accident and that she would need to have the blood drawn again. When asked why no one was notified they didn't have an answer. This blood work was for newborn screening that were abnormal when taken at the hospital and if she is found to have one of them could be life threatening.

This people are total incompetent and I will not be utilizing them again for any type of lab work.
