Hazard

The mask is presented as providing a protective function; however these claims are not backed by evidence. This could create a false sense of safety to the wearer of the mask and thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, not protect its user. The product does not comply with the requirements of the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD).

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Retailer (11/03/2021)

Product description

3 layers disposable mask with 3 folds. Product information is printed on the plastic bag, on a paper label inside the bag and a self-adhesive label applied on the bag.
