Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class II recall involves pregnancy test kits with potential reduced effectiveness due to temperature damage.

Plain-English summary
Alere Fertility Test hCG pregnancy test kits (Models 92210 and 92211) have been recalled. These rapid test kits detect human chorionic gonadotropin in urine samples and are packaged in boxes of 30 or 50 tests.
Between June and August 2021, temperature excursions at the facility storing these products prior to delivery exposed them to higher than normal temperatures. This thermal exposure may have reduced the effectiveness of the pregnancy test kits.
The recall affects all lots of these models distributed to US locations between June 1 and September 30, 2021. The recalled GTINs are 10815845020130, 00815845020133 (Model 92210) and 10815845020093, 00815845020096 (Model 92211).
