LumiQuick Salmonella Typhi Test Recalled for Lack of FDA Clearance

LumiQuick Diagnostics is recalling Salmonella typhi IgG/IgM Duo Tests because they were shipped to US locations without required FDA clearance.

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, but the source text indicates a regulatory compliance issue (lack of clearance) rather than a specific physical defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
