US FDA recalls over 500,000 Covid tests over bacteria risk

More than half a million Covid tests have been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over bacteria concerns.

The FDA said it “has significant concerns of bacterial contamination” in the test kit solution in some Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests.

Using the contaminated solution “may pose safety concerns” as well as cause the test to give an inaccurate result.

The agency warned tests should be thrown out immediately.
