SEEKING compensation for their non-viable cord blood, some Cordlife Group : P8A 0% customers have banded together to sue the beleaguered cord-blood bank, with at least two legal actions under way.

The Business Times understands that these groups are mulling over class action-type suits and are seeking legal opinion from various law firms.

One group currently has around 80 customers, and will be speaking to a law firm on Wednesday (Apr 24) evening, according to Shanta Sundarason, a parent who had banked her youngest child’s cord blood with Cordlife since 2003.
