Did the FDA Recall All COVID-19 PCR Tests?

A screenshot of an FDA recall has social media users wondering if the PCR tests they took are valid.

Social media users are confused by a screenshot circulating that suggests all PCR tests authorized by the FDA have been recalled. The strongly worded posts claim “THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST HORRIFIC CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY SINCE THE DAWN OF MANKIND.”

According to a Reuters Fact Check, that’s not the case at all. In fact, the recall only applies to one company’s PCR test, the Innova SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Qualitative Test. The test in question claims to produce a result faster than a PCR test that must be analyzed in a laboratory, but was recalled on June 6th.
