Lunn, et al. v. Metpath Laboratories, Cook County, Illinois

$1,500,000.00 settlement with laboratory in suit brought by female plaintiffs. Alleged a novel theory which led to recovery, namely, that the laboratory breached its ethical duty to inform women of lab's concern that their physician was performing unnecessary surgeries on them, and that the specimens sent to the lab did not correlate to the body parts their doctor allegedly removed. This case was the first case in the U.S.A. to assert that theory.
