ACON Laboratories, Inc. has become aware of counterfeit Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test kits displaying Lot number COV3060007 which are being illegally sold in the United States by unauthorized distributors. Although these counterfeit test kits appear to display an authentic Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test Lot number, these counterfeit test kits were not manufactured, imported, or distributed by ACON Laboratories.
These counterfeit test kits may be identified by mismatched Lot numbers on the test kit box label and test cassette pouch. These counterfeit test cassettes display a different Lot number on the test cassette pouch than the Lot number COV3060007 printed on the kit box label sticker on the outside of the test kit box. Additionally, these counterfeit test cassettes have an Expiration Date printed on the test cassette pouch which does not match the expiration date 2025-06-11 displayed on the kit box label sticker on the outside of the test kit box.
Authentic Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Tests will always have matching Lot numbers and Expiration Dates on the test kit box label and the test cassette pouch. Individuals who have purchased or received Flowflex test kits displaying Lot numbers COV3060007 and believe that the tests may be counterfeit should save the test kit packaging and any unused tests and contact ACON’s customer support at 1-800-838-9502.
Authentic Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Tests can be purchased from retail chain stores, major online resellers such as Amazon.com, or one of these authorized distributors.
