American Academy of Pediatrics Lawsuit

February 5th, 2021

A major lawsuit was filed on February 5th, 2021 against the American Academy of Pediatrics and Princeton Medical Group alleging constructive and intentional fraud around a botched circumcision.   

• The AAP had a number of undisclosed biases, including a financial and religious bias, and made false claims in their 1989 Report of the Task Force on Circumcision Guidance.

• This Guidance induced the Plaintiffs to provide consent for circumcisions without all of the necessary medical facts and information to make an informed decision, which the AAP has a fiduciary obligation to provide.

• The AAP owes a duty to the general public, including the Plaintiffs, to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when issuing reports, policy statements, and guidelines for medical care and procedures.
