Hazard

The particle/filter retention of the material (measured values: as low as 66%) and the total filtration capacity of the mask (measured mean values: as low as 44%) are insufficient. 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 Regulation and with the European standard EN 149.
