St. Louis newspaper reports Baby Gender Mentor investigation by Illinois law enforcement
An investigation into the sales of Baby Gender Mentor, an at-home DNA test to reveal an unborn baby's gender, is in the preliminary stage, according to the Illinois attorney general. The attorney general's office has not received complaints about the test, although complaints have been filed with the FTC.
Sherry Bonelli, Baby Gender Mentor's retailer, states that the manufacturer has given no refunds, and that the test has been accurate for the four babies born so far.
One mother-to-be of three sons says that although Baby Gender Mentor told her to expect another boy, four ultrasounds indicate a girl is on the way. Another mom expecting a son, according to Baby Gender Mentor, found out through amniocentesis that she is having a daughter.
