Health Canada is warning consumers about counterfeit BTNX Rapid Response COVID-19 antigen rapid test kits (25-pack boxes) found in Ontario. The counterfeit devices were sold online by a distributor named Healthful Plus, without the required licence to import, distribute or sell medical devices in Canada.
The packaging of the counterfeit kits resembles authentic (licensed) BTNX Inc. products in colour and typeface and uses the BTNX Inc. device identifier "COV-19C25". However, unlike authentic BTNX Inc. products, the counterfeit kits:
If you suspect you have a counterfeit kit, do not use it and dispose of it in a household garbage. If you have any questions or would like to confirm the quality of your tests, contact your Indigenous Services Canada regional office and please Report suspected counterfeit medical devices to Health Canada.
