A commission spokeswoman said the investigation, launched after a complaint by Green Party MP Nandor Tanczos, had been closed, as the kit had been withdrawn from sale. Mr Tanczos said the kits, marketed by Proveit, were not proved to be accurate and could have caused hurt in families. "Even if one test out of 100 were false, that is still one family in 100 at risk of being torn apart from the consequences of a false reading," he said in a statement. The Parents Centre had earlier said it feared the drug-testing kit could destroy relationships between parents and teenagers. - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
