The One Step HCG urine pregnancy test came to the attention of the TGA after a family planning clinic reported three cases of false negative readings of the test. After further analysis, the TGA discovered the pregnancy tests were incapable of detecting the presence of the (hCG) hormone, an early indicator of pregnancy. Of the twenty-seven products analysed, twenty-two were deemed accurate and reliable. The TGA said in a media release on Wednesday that the five products that failed the test were "subjected to a range of regulatory actions". Erin Turner, head of policy at the consumer advocacy group said the results are "astounding". "Anyone who has bought a test that is affected by the recalls should approach the retailer for a refund and, importantly, see a doctor for further medical advice," said Turner. "Whatever result you ’ re hoping for, it ’ s essential that pregnancy tests are accurate and trustworthy."
