Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 8, 2021, Lucira Health, Inc. issued a press release commenting on the recent recall by Copan Italia SPA, or Copan, of its FLOQSwabs, or the Recalled Copan Swabs, a component of our LUCIRA COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit and LUCIRA CHECK IT COVID-19 Test Kit, collectively the Test Kits, identified on the label as “3 Swab.” According to our records, we distributed Test Kits containing the Recalled Copan Swabs from April 22, 2021 through September 22, 2021, or the Distribution Period. The Recalled Copan Swabs included in the Test Kits purchased during the Distribution Period should not be used and should be disposed. We are offering a replacement swab for customers who purchased a Test Kit containing a Recalled Copan Swab during the Distribution Period. The lot numbers of the affected Test Kits are listed in the press release. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
We expect to record expenses related to the Recalled Copan Swabs in the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. We estimate such expenses to be between $75,000 and $85,000 and intend to pass-through all related expenses, including but not limited to third party and legal costs, to Copan. The Recalled Copan Swabs had no impact on revenue recorded during the Distribution Period. In addition, although we cannot determine with certainty any additional expenses in future quarters relating to the Recalled Copan Swabs, we expect such expenses to be immaterial and we intend to pass-through such expenses to Copan. We have a sound working relationship with Copan that we intend to continue for the foreseeable future.
The information in this Item 7.01 and in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by Lucira Health, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
