What is this? This is a face mask called FFP2. It is meant to protect you from small particles in the air.

What's happening? Some of these masks do not work well. They may let in too many particles because the filter is not strong enough.

Does this affect me? If you have this mask, it may not protect you as it should. Check if your mask is on the recall list.

What should I do? Stop using the mask and ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice.
