Do Not Use Pregnancy Tests Manufactured by Universal Meditech, Inc.: FDA Safety Communication
While UMI initiated a recall to remove undistributed tests from their distributors, UMI did not initiate a recall for tests that were already distributed to consumers. Given FDA’s concerns about these tests, the FDA is issuing this safety communication to consumers and patients as part of its mandate to protect the public health.
The FDA has warned consumers and patients not to use these tests - https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/do-not-use-tests-manufactured-universal-meditech-inc-fda-safety-communication
