Illegal and Unsafe Lab in Reedley Shut Down After Discovery of Infectious Agents and Chemicals

A lab operating in Reedley, California, has been shut down after authorities discovered hazardous materials, chemicals, and medical waste on the premises. The lab, operated by Prestige Biotech and Universal Meditech, was found to have refrigerators filled with illegal Covid and pregnancy tests, human blood, and nearly 1,000 mice. The facility was operating unlicensed and unpermitted, and health officials have disposed of all the materials. This discovery is considered unique and has prompted legal action to ensure public safety. The owners of the lab have not responded to attempts to contact them, and the building is now considered abandoned and will be destroyed.
