Why it was recalled
TGA testing of Mums The One one step hCG urine pregnancy tests from the affected batch found that these tests do not meet a claim made in the product documentation. Specifically, these tests failed to detect hCG at concentrations of 10 mIU/mL, 25 mIU/mL and 50 mIU/mL levels.
Hazard
This creates the risk of false negative results, which means a pregnant woman may not seek pre-natal healthcare advice and support as early as possible, and may continue with behaviours that could affect foetal development, such as smoking and/or consuming alcohol.
