A maker of rapid Covid tests recalls nearly 200,000 kits over concerns of false positives.
Ellume, an Australian company that makes a widely available at-home coronavirus test, has recalled nearly 200,000 test kits because of concerns about a higher-than-expected rate of false positives. That represents about 5.6 percent of the approximately 3.5 million test kits Ellume has shipped to the United States.

Christine, this is really helpful (if worrisome) information — it might be most useful to post it in the Covid-19 and Travel section, where people will still see it in relation to testing and travel after it has disappeared from the front page. (In my understanding, this information is relevant for more than just people traveling to Italy.)
