Los Angeles sheriff's department to retest 4,000 DNA samples after using faulty kits for 8 months

Read Time:36 Second


The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says it will retest 4,000 DNA samples and open an internal investigation after learning that it used potentially flawed test kits for eight months. Officials said Wednesday that a manufacturer of test kits sent a letter last August warning the department to stop using certain kits that were prone to giving incomplete results. But the letter was received by a civilian employee who didn’t discard the kits or send them back. The department used the flawed kits from July through February, testing thousands of samples from criminal investigations. The department says it has opened an internal investigation to assess how much the faulty kits have affected cases.
