RAPID ANTIGEN TEST KITS AND POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.

Aanii SFN community members,

There is a rumour going around that there has been a recall on the COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test kits.

This is not true, at this time there are no recalls on the test kits.

Health Canada put out a safety warning because individuals across Canada had accidentally ingested/inhaled/spilled the buffer solution which caused them to have a reaction.

Please be careful when handling the buffer solution and make sure to wash your hands if you accidentally come into contact with the solution. See the full statement below
