S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results

After years of expansion into different DNA services,
controversies around the company begin to surface — publicly.
There’s a lawsuit against the company, journalists (including our
co-host Jorge Barrera) start sniffing around; and a poodle is
falsely identified as an Indigenous person. Meanwhile, prenatal
paternity testing quietly disappears from the services on the
Viaguard Accu-Metrics website. 





A legal note: Over the course of this podcast, a number of
allegations are made against Viaguard Accu-Metrics and its
employees. When asked, company owner Harvey Tenenbaum said he
stands by the test, and that any errors were caused by customers
during sample collection.
