What to do if you have a Clear & Simple Pregnancy Kit?
If you’re found to have a faulty Clear & Simple Pregnancy test, simply return the item to your place of purchase to obtain a new one.
The new one will be free of that particular consignment batch number and expiry date and will provide you with a true reading.
If you have already used one of these kits and the result came back positive, it may be worth speaking to your GP or Doctor to get a professional result.
