Type / model
Protective Mask KN95
Description
5 white five-layer respiratory masks labelled only with KN95 GB2626-2006, with visible nose bracket in a foil packaging with black imprint 'KN95 protective mask'. Product sold online, in particular via eBay sold via ebay under number 224389518393.
Risk
The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: as low as 57%), and the mask does not properly adapt to the face. Consequently, the product does not fulfil the health and safety requirements; thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect. The product does not comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation and with the relevant European standard EN 149.
