Two companies selling at-home rape kits appear to have pulled them from the shelves in the wake of legal threats, according to a report.

The move comes after New York State Attorney General Letitia James ordered the companies behind the PRESERVEkit and the MeToo Kits to “cease and desist” selling and marketing the controversial products, CNN reported.

The products have been accused of leading consumers to believe they are forensic-grade and could be used as evidence in court.

Sexual assault experts slammed the evidence collection kits as “morally and legally irresponsible” — and said they could deter victims from seeking professional help from the state such as free, court-admissible tests.

Preserve Group, which sells PRESERVEKit, wrote on its website Friday that it “will not be selling this product while we review the legal concerns.” It is also currently unavailable on Amazon.

The company behind MeToo Kits also appeared to have taken down its website as of last week, CNN reported.

Both companies didn’t respond to request for comment, the outlet reported.
