A company is voluntarily recalling more than 11,000 COVID tests for not consistently providing accurate results.

The test is an over-the-counter nasal swab from Detect, Inc.

The tests were shipped to customers from July 26 to Aug. 26 of 2022. The FDA said there's an increased chance that the tests from some lots may give false negative results.

The recall affects a total of 11,102 tests.

Detect says it has not received any reports of false negatives and the recall is being done out of caution.

Detect is offering a refund for the affected tests.
