Snyder v. American Association of Blood Banks
New Jersey Supreme Court
676 A.2d 1036 (1996)
- Written by Alex Ruskell, JD
Facts
William Snyder (plaintiff) contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion. The American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) (defendant) was a nonprofit association that set the standards for the significantly self-regulated blood-banking industry. Snyder sued the AABB for his injuries, arguing that the AABB was aware that AIDS could be transmitted through blood and that the AABB did not promote effective means of blood testing, such as the questioning of donors and surrogate testing, because such tests were inconvenient and costly.
