Nearly 10,000 test kits distributed earlier this year are part of the recall. Customers can obtain a refund.
The Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday that some COVID-19 tests are being recalled as they are prone to false positive results.
The tests were made by Detect Inc. and shipped to customers from July 26-Aug. 26. The FDA said the reliability of positive results is not affected. The FDA said it has not received any reports of false positive tests, and the recall was conducted out of an abundance of caution.“There is an increased chance that the tests from the lot numbers listed below may give false negative results. Detect has conducted a thorough investigation to identify this issue and has made the decision to conduct a voluntary recall for these lots,” the FDA said.
