LA company faked COVID test results; agrees to pay $22.5 million
testing company has agreed to fork over a $22 million settlement after being accused of forging test results and engaging in false advertising.
In some cases, customers allegedly received "negative" test results without the company having any way of knowing if that was actually the case."It’s beyond outrageous that anyone would falsify COVID tests, as we allege happened here. If you get a negative test, you assume it’s safe to go to work, visit family and friends, or take a vacation," Feuer said in a statement.
