FDA recalls over 500,000 COVID test kits due to bacteria contamination.

More than 500,000 COVID-19 test kits distributed to CVS and Amazon are being recalled due to potential contamination with bacteria that can cause illness and produce false test results, according to the FDA. The kits are labeled SD Biosensor, Inc. Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests and distributed by Roche Diagnostics. Consumers are warned to stop using and throw out any test kits subject to the recall, and not to pour the liquid solution down the drain. The FDA has not received any reports of illness from the kits.
