Litigants are lining up against a Bergen County-based diagnostic lab company for allegedly selling fraudulent COVID-19 tests at one of its South Jersey locations, a scheme officials say ended only after an FBI raid of the facility in early December.
At least four people who fell for the alleged fraud have joined a class-action lawsuit against Infinity Diagnostics Labs, accusing the Teterboro company of advertising $75 rapid COVID tests that were actually antibody tests with no capacity to detect the virus.
The kits were distributed out of an Infinity location in Ventnor City, according to the suit, filed Dec. 15 in state Superior Court in Atlantic County. The storefront has since shuttered, but not before the alleged scam hoodwinked potentially thousands of people, according to the complaint.
