LINCOLN- The Nebraska Attorney General's Office has reached a settlement with two Omaha companies accused of deceptive trade practices for their advertising and administration of COVID-19 antibody tests to consumers through the end of April 2020 at a drive-thru there.

Attorney General Doug Peterson said Pivot Concierge Health LLC and Banyan Medical Systems LLC failed to make necessary disclosures required by test manufacturers and recommended by the FDA.

He said they also made deceptive and misleading statements to consumers regarding the ability of their antibody tests to identify the presence of a current or prior COVID-19 infection.

"In combination, this conduct created a significant likelihood of consumer confusion and endangered the public health," Peterson said in a press release.

Under the terms of the settlement, the companies are prohibited from misrepresenting the characteristics of any COVID-19 testing product or service they offer, and they are required to disclose to consumers all known risks and limitations. Pivot Concierge Health LLC also agreed to pay $25,000 to the Attorney General’s Office.
