Plain-English summary

Magellan Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling 321 units of the LeadCare II Blood Lead Test Kit, Model/Catalog Number 70-6762, Lot Number 2530M-01. The recall is due to a labeling error where the outer packaging may display an incorrect expiration date of July 22, 2026, instead of the correct date of July 13, 2026.

The affected kits were distributed nationwide in California, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Kentucky.
