Pregnancy Test Recalled for Unverified Manufacturing Compliance and Firm Closure
Universal Meditech Inc. is recalling the Am I Pregnant? One Step HCG Pregnancy Test because the company is going out of business and cannot verify manufacturing compliance or provide quality system documentation.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. However, it qualifies as high-risk because the product is a medical diagnostic test critical to healthcare decision-making, and the manufacturer cannot demonstrate manufacturing compliance or provide documentation of product quality system adherence, creating theoretical risk of unreliable test results.
