Prior to disposing of the recalled kits, consumers will be asked to submit a photo to the seller's account through Amazon's messaging platform.

Consumers should dispose of all kits, expired, unexpired or unused in accordance with local household hazardous waste regulation. Note: Physically returning the product is not required..
