Ameditech Recalls 1 Step 12 Panel Cup Drug Tests

Ameditech is recalling 787 kits of 1 Step 12 Panel Cup drug tests due to reduced reactivity. The products were distributed in the US and Australia.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard is reduced reactivity, which is a functional defect rather than a direct physical or biological hazard like a pathogen or structural failure. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

These are one-step immunoassay tests used for the qualitative detection of multiple drugs and drug metabolites in human urine, including Benzodiazepine (BZO). The tests are intended for professional and point-of-care use.
