You could only get those tests if 1) you do sue (or are sued by) the company; 2) the lawsuit is not frivolous (i.e. there is some legitimate claim or cause of action); and 3) the tests are relevant to the lawsuit. You can't file a suit just to get the tests: you need to sue on some other, legitimate basis and need the tests for the suit.
