Health Canada Recalls Instant Aid Ovulation and Pregnancy Tests
Published
Health Canada has issued a product recall notice for Instant Aid Ovulation and Pregnancy Tests. The tests are not licensed for use in Canada, which means they have not been approved by the federal health department for sale or use in the country.
Anyone who has these tests at home is being advised to stop using them. Health Canada wants people to check whether they own the products and to follow the instructions in the official recall notice. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the department or speak with a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
Ovulation and pregnancy tests are common products, and many people rely on them to plan or confirm a pregnancy. Because these tests are not licensed in Canada, their accuracy and safety have not been checked by Health Canada. For this reason, people are encouraged to use only approved products that are sold in Canadian pharmacies and stores.
The recall is a reminder to read product labels carefully before buying health products, especially those bought online or from unfamiliar sellers. Health Canada continues to monitor products on the Canadian market and may issue further recall notices if new safety concerns are found.
