What is this? This is a box of 10 FFP2 face masks made in China. FFP2 masks are meant to block small particles from the air.
What's happening? Tests show these masks do not work well. They let too many particles through—sometimes as few as 73% blocked.
Does this affect me? If you bought these masks in Iceland, they may not protect you from dust, germs, or viruses.
What should I do? Stop using them and ask your pharmacist or doctor for safe mask advice.
