I want to know how much they made selling them? If they made $30m, and they get fined $1.2, that isn't really much deterrent...

  The article claimed that the fine is 100% of the revenue from the sales of the mislabeled masks: > The vote approving the complaint and proposed order was passed 3-0, and the FTC will use the $1.1 million sum, equal to revenue generated by the Zephyr, to provide full refunds to customers.

    That doesn’t seem like much of a deterrent.

  Well also, IIUC about 3% of americans died from covid so assuming each Zypher mask cost $100 then out of the ~10,000 customers 30 of them died.

    This is assuming that there's zero correlation between mask usage and dying from covid. That hasn't been established.

    Did you mean .3% ?
    • lesuorac 2y ago
      Yeah, 30/10k is .3% so that part is correct.
