Up to 750,000 unused coronavirus testing kits are being recalled due to safety concerns.
The UK's medicines and healthcare products regulator (MHRA) asked Randox to recall the kits sent out to care homes and individuals.
The government said it was a "precautionary measure" and the risk to safety was low.
It comes weeks after the health secretary said Randox kits should not be used until further notice.
A spokeswoman said: "We have high safety standards for all coronavirus tests. Following the pausing of Randox kits on 15 July, Randox have now recalled all test kits as a precautionary measure."
Care home residents or staff with symptoms of coronavirus can continue to book a test, she said.
