I've bugged Amazon about counterfeit dust masks (and complained about it on HN too). Some masks claim to have valid NIOSH certification but don't, some advertise themselves as NIOSH certified but use a certification number that was revoked by the CDC 10 years ago, make claims about being N95 without providing any lab references, etc. All of the listings I've complained about are still up on Amazon.

Have you tried contacting legitimate manufacturer's? The way America works it's sort of incumbent on you, the consumer, to try suing Amazon on their fraudulent listings, but that takes a lot of money - but I bet actual mask manufacturers would be quite willing to defend their territory. Especially with dust masks I feel like there might be departments in OSHA or the FDA that would help out here, but I don't know what they are or if they've been declawed.
