- lloydarmbrust 5y agoThat's the biggest problem with Amazon... I honestly would not buy from them. If you find a mask you like, google it and buy direct from the manufacturer. IMO Amazon is convenient, but this is your health and it's worth an extra step.
- genericone 5y agoIf in doubt about fakes, don't buy it. I don't buy anything on Amazon that could result in absorption in the body. No food, no lotions, even certain fabrics can be radioactive in the case of "negative ion" mumbo-jumbo: This guy on youtube contacted the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to force Amazon to delist these products with excessive negative-ion radiation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BA5bw1EV5I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BA5bw1EV5I

- jpindar 5y agoIf it's on Amazon or eBay, you have no way of knowing if it's fake. Buy directly from a distributor such as https://www.projectn95.org https://www.projectn95.org, https://bonafidemasks.com https://bonafidemasks.com, etc. If you prefer the KF94 types, I've heard good things about https://kollecteusa.com https://kollecteusa.com and https://behealthyusa.net https://behealthyusa.net.
