Hazard

The particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: as low as 40%). Furthermore, weld points may tear apart generating holes in the mask, and ear straps may break easily. 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.

  • Warning consumers of the risks — Importer (26/10/2021)
