Three former executives of a company that makes machines that test lead levels in humans deliberately concealed a problem with the devices that produced falsely low results for tens of thousands of children, federal prosecutors in Boston said Wednesday.
The children, as well as pregnant people and others, faced serious health risks because of the inaccurate test results, prosecutors said.
“We allege that these defendants deceived customers and the FDA about the reliability of medical tests that detected lead levels," U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said in a statement. “By doing so, we assert that they endangered the health and lives of incredibly vulnerable victims." He called her an effective leader through difficult times who left the company amicably five years ago.The devices in question, marketed under the names LeadCare Ultra, LeadCare II and LeadCare Plus, tested lead levels through blood draws or fingersticks and accounted for more than half of all blood lead tests conducted in the U.S. from 2013 through 2017, prosecutors said.
