FDA Warns About Unauthorized Fraudulent COVID-19 Tests
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers about the marketing of unauthorized fraudulent in-home test kits designed for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The FDA is worried about potential false-negative results from the kits. "They may keep some patients from seeking care or delay necessary medical treatment," the agency warned in a statement.
The FDA plans to scan ports of entry, including international mail facilities, for fake tests. It's also calling on the public to report fraudulent test kits for COVID-19 if they see them.
"We will continue to aggressively pursue those who place the public health at risk and hold bad actors accountable," the agency said.
