Who left menstrual stains in the toilet? Company gets female staff blood samples to find out

What? Good thing this was reported to Hong Kong’s privacy watchdog.

According to the Privacy Commissioner, a small-medium sized firm requested its female workers to supply blood samples for DNA testing in order to find who left menstrual bloodstains in the bathroom.

Privacy Commissioner Allan Chiang Yam-wang said this was in serious breaches of privacy and the company has been asked to destroy all DNA samples collected and cease continued collection, reports the SCMP.
