Consumers and health professionals are advised that Mums The One (trading as PregnancyShop.com.au), in consultation with the TGA, is recalling one batch of Mums The One one step human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) urine pregnancy tests. The affected batch number is 20151106.
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.
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.
Information for consumers
Mums The One one step hCG urine pregnancy tests were sold exclusively through the PregnancyShop.com.au website. The affected batch was supplied to customers between 12 November 2015 and 8 January 2016.
