This lab has given me several false postive drug screens, I have stacks of proof including drug screens through other labs 20 minutes before or after ive screened with them, FFL postive. other accredited labs negative. I also have 2 hair follicle tests from 2 different labs showing 90 days history and both were negative for all drugs. thier cut off levels are extremely low which is causing false positives, the *** suggests 15ng/ml and FFLs is 3ng/ml!!!!!! the farther you deviate from suggested cutoff levels the higher the chance or false positives. i have been in contact with their manufacturer for their quantisol mouth swabs. they are also not using the correct recommended cut off levels for those specific mouth swabs... this company is tearing families apart and they dont care as long a their getting paid. something needs to be done, their not the first lab to do this also averhealth was doing the same and the state they were in ended up not using thier services anymore, i suggest ffl gets their s*** together before the loose alot of business, they have caused my family so much turmoil. i have proof where my fiances ******** didnt show up mutiple of their screens when hes prescribed 60 mg daily and takes them every single day but their tests are "100%" accurate, there is currently a petition on change.org for child welfare to stop using this company. if you have been affected by them please go sign it, FFL i know you read these and i pray you understand the hurt and trauma you are causing people. i will not stop until something is done about this.Business response

I had a false positive test done through ******** CPS a few months ago. Come to find out they are using illegal cut off levels when administered the results of mouth swab tests. The ******** ************ stopped using them due to this yet family court and ******** CPS removes peoples children over false positive results due to the negligence of this laboratory. I contacted the owner and she denied any involvement with the inaccuracy of the test results and told me to contact her attorney. Also mouth swab tests are not supposed to be admissible in ******** court proceedings yet they are still using themBusiness response

This lab company is not following proper procedures. They are having a contamination issue were clean drug screens are being reported as positives.A hair sample will prove this and it has happened to same donor 3 times within in 3 weeks and 3 different types of drugs. The likelihood of this is not probably. This company needs a full investigation as to what the procedures and practices are for disinfecting and calibration of their machines.Business response

They will not give you any information on your test results. They will not answer any questions at all. There have been multiple tests that came back to CPS in **** **** that I know for a fact were faulted or misleading. I took three tests in one week and the only one that came back positive for anything was the one through forensic fluids in ********. I went to the hospital fyi ************* and my tests were negative. Something is not right and I demand some answers. These tests are the only ones CPS are using to take my kids from me. All of my other tests are negative this is not the first time this is most likely the 6th test for me and 2 for my kids since March. Ive read reviews online and I am not the only person that has reported something like this nor will I be the last. I want my results!! I want to know what they are purposely frauding paperwork and tests. There is no way any of these tests are positive ESPECIALLY this last one done on 6-5-23 Someone help please before I contact the governor of this state or the mayor of even someone who listens. I want answers and I am **** sure I am not the only one.Business response
