BinaxNOW Respiratory Strep A Test Kits Shipped to Unlicensed Purchasers

Cypress Medical Products is recalling BinaxNOW Respiratory Strep A Test Kits due to an inventory system error that resulted in shipment to customers without proper licensing to purchase medical devices.

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: This is a Class II recall driven by regulatory non-compliance (unlicensed distribution) rather than a product defect. No illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations have been reported. The hazard of improper use by unlicensed personnel is entirely theoretical.
