German government warns of falsely declared protective effect of masks
The Swiss Council for Accident Prevention and the Hi-Pro company have warned against the use of certain textile masks with a falsely declared protective effect. Affected are masks of the type PM30, which are in circulation in different colors.
The masks, some of which are labeled "FFP2," "KN95" or "EN149 certified," do not meet the declared protective effect of the "FFP2" class, according to a statement distributed by the Federal Consumer Affairs Bureau on Wednesday.
The masks should not be used as FFP2 respirators. Anyone wearing the masks for activities requiring FFP2 class respirators would be insufficiently protected against irreversible damage to health, the warning read.
