Customs officials at LAX seize fake COVID-19 test kits



LOS ANGELES —U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized boxes containing fake COVID-19  test kits at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday, March 12.

The vials filled with white liquid were labeled COVID-19 test kits.

After the virus outbreak in China, opportunists tried selling fake kits before being shut down by the Chinese government. They are warning consumers to avoid home test kits altogether.
