The Arizona attorney general is prepping for a lawsuit against Theranos, alleging consumer fraud by the embattled blood-testing startup.
The office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is looking to hire an outside firm to take legal action against Theranos and its subsidiaries according to a bidding contract filed Jan. 4.
This would be the first government-led lawsuit against the company. Several investors and at least eight customers have also sued the company, which has conducted several rounds of heavy layoffs in recent months.
