Counterfeit coronavirus test kits seized at Chicago
airport
Counterfeit coronavirus tests were intercepted at
Chicago's O'Hare International Airport this week, US Customs and Border
Protection officials said Thursday.
The kits, shipped from the United
Kingdom, included tests for COVID-19, as well as other illnesses, including
meningitis and salmonella, officials said.
They were seized on Tuesday
and handed to the FDA for further analysis.
"Counterfeit products have
serious consequences to everyone," Hans Leiterman, assistant area port director
for Chicago said in a statement.
"CBP seizures of illegally imported
counterfeit merchandise helps protect the health and safety of US citizens, and
the reputation of marketplaces involved in these transactions."
The
federal agency warned that testing for the coronavirus should only be conducted
by approved state or local public health laboratories.
