Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is suing two Illinois-based companies for allegedly “deceiving consumers” when it comes to COVID-19 testing.
The suit claims the companies, the Center for COVID Control and Doctors Clinical Laboratory, Inc., “either failed to deliver test results, or delivered test results that were falsified or inaccurate,” according to a
news release issued by Ellison’s office Wednesday.
Center for Covid Control is one of the biggest players in the COVID testing space, operating over 300 sites nationwide, according to an
NBC News report from Jan. 14, which noted that the company is under federal investigation as well as being probed by attorneys general in several states.
Doctors Clinical Laboratory is CCC’s “associated lab,” the Ellison news release states.
CCC operated pop-up COVID-19 test sites throughout the state where it collected samples from Minnesotans, according to the news release The samples were then turned over to DCL for testing.
