A COVID-19 testing company that claimed to run more than 300 pop-up locations across the U.S. is under investigation by state and federal agencies for allegedly delivering inaccurate and even falsified test results.
Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Monday filed another lawsuit against the Illinois-based Center for COVID Control, calling it a "sham" testing center and accusing it of improperly handling tests and providing fake, or no test results at all.
Filed in King County Superior Court, the lawsuit alleges the testing outfit, founded in 2020 by married couple Akbar Syed and Aleya Siyaj, "failed to deliver prompt, valid and accurate results" to customers. Employees were also instructed to "lie to patients on a daily basis," Ferguson said in a statement.
