FBI is urging retests for anyone who got coronavirus tests at N.J. lab

Recommended Posts

More information on this lab. Seems they were selling bogus Covid tests to the general public.

How many people's lives were screwed up because of a false positive?

....."Litigants are lining up against a Bergen County-based diagnostic lab company for allegedly selling fraudulent COVID-19 tests at one of its South Jersey locations, a scheme officials say ended only after an FBI raid of the facility in early December. 

At least four people who fell for the alleged fraud have joined a class-action lawsuit against Infinity Diagnostics Labs, accusing the Teterboro company of advertising $75 "rapid" COVID tests that were actually antibody tests with no capacity to detect the virus. 

The kits were distributed out of an Infinity location in Ventnor City, according to the suit, filed Dec. 15 in state Superior Court in Atlantic County. The storefront has since shuttered, but not before the alleged scam hoodwinked potentially thousands of people, according to the complaint.  

“In a nutshell, Infinity put corporate profit ahead of people’s health and well-being by advertising, selling and administering a fake active COVID test which they knew would not diagnose persons who were actually infected with this dreadful disease,” the suit states.

Infinity allegedly started selling and administering finger-stick antibody tests between March and December, advertising the materials for active COVID infections and “rapid 10-minute testing," the complaint says.
