Plain-English summary
Acon Biotech (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. is recalling the Flowflex SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Self-Testing), a COVID-19 rapid diagnostic test kit that carries a CE mark but lacks FDA Emergency Use Authorization.
The recall affects approximately 303,760 test kits distributed in the United States (Maryland and Pennsylvania), as well as Hungary and China. The affected lot numbers are COV1080201 and COV1105014.
