At the same time, emails show, some U.S. companies were starting to contact state officials with their own offers. During a phone call with state officials, Jarrell learned they already were arranging to replace all the tests with new shipments of LabGun tests from South Korea. Hogan officials did not respond to questions about why the state had to pay to replace the flawed tests.

Hogan said he expects to have used all of the LabGun tests by the end of the year.
