Originally Published 2 years ago — by KFSN-TV
New details have emerged about the embattled medical company, Universal Meditech, and its business dealings in Fresno. The company previously operated in Fresno before moving to Reedley, where its lab was shut down last month due to unauthorized biological agents. Fresno officials released a timeline of the company's history within the city, including a fire incident in 2020 and issues with unpermitted lab walls and electrical wiring. The company later submitted paperwork to move into a new location in Fresno, but the city has informed them of issues with the submitted paperwork. Court documents reveal that the lab was involved in creating illegal pregnancy and COVID-19 tests, and inspections found numerous dead mice and containers labeled with infectious agents.
