Cleveland BBB issues COVID-19 pop-up testing site warning
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission are issuing a warning about pop-up COVID-19 testing sites that are leaving some local consumers waiting weeks for official test results they still haven’t received.
Barbara Bachtell, of Cleveland Heights, and Kristin Hudak of Rocky River, both filed complaints with the BBB after waiting nearly a month for official COVID-19 test results from Chicago based company Center for COVID Control LLC. Bachtell received her test from a pop-up site in Parma, while Hudak was tested at a company pop-up site at Great Northern Mall on Dec. 20.
“Well I was actually pretty shocked, I didn’t expect to see a small trailer in a strip mall parking lot, in fact, I drove by it the first time,” Bachtell said.
“The advertisement said they do free PCR testing, but when I went there she said we don’t do PCR tests
