‘Super dodgy’: TGA investigating rapid antigen test resale rort | MartaPascual3
The Therapeutic Goods Administration is investigating reports retailers are selling repackaged rapid antigen test kits for a premium, despite warnings of multimillion-dollar penalties for companies that breach labelling rules.
Alice, a mother of two from Clovelly in NSW who did not want her surname published, said she was shocked to learn two rapid tests her husband had bought on January 8 at a Randwick petrol station for $30 each did not include the testing tube used to hold the chemical solution into which the swab should be dipped to obtain a result.
“I felt really ripped off and just infuriated that people, individuals, are making a profit out of a crisis situation.”
