FDA is warning consumers not to use certain pregnancy tests

The Food and Drug Administration is asking consumers not to use certain pregnancy, ovulation and urinalysis tests. 

The tests were manufactured by Universal Meditech, Inc., which notified the FDA that it had stopped all operations and is no longer providing support for the tests. 

"The FDA is not able to confirm the performance of UMI’s tests, raising concerns that the tests may not be safe and effective," the FDA said in a statement. 

UMI initiated a recall to stop tests from going to distributors, but it did not recall items already distributed to consumers. That's what prompted an FDA Safety Communication, so customers would know to stop using the tests.
