Counterfeit Alerts
At LifeScan, our first responsibility is to the patients, healthcare professionals and all those who use OneTouch® Brand products. Our goal is to protect the health and safety of people with diabetes by maintaining a safe and secure supply chain and deterring illicit sources of supply.
Products obtained from sources not authorized by LifeScan have been found to be counterfeit, stored or transported improperly, tampered with, stolen, been associated with insurance fraud, illegally diverted or otherwise illegally obtained. Counterfeit and other grey market products may have been mishandled and could provide inaccurate readings which may lead to improper treatment decisions resulting in serious medical risk to patients.
If you think you have received counterfeit products, please contact customer service at 1-800-227-8862. Outside of U.S., please visit OneTouch.com/global and select your country.
