- The product advertises a protective potential against particles but its filtering capacity has not been tested by a relevant competent European conformity assessment body. Additionally, it was found that the particle/filter retention of the material is insufficient (measured values: up to 30%); thus, even if combined with other recommended measures, it may not properly protect.

What is this? This is a disposable face mask sold under the brand HG. It claims to protect against small particles in the air.
What's happening? Tests show the mask does not filter enough particles. It may only block up to 30% of particles, which is too low to be safe.
Does this affect me? If you bought this mask in Germany, it may not protect you well. Others might not be safe either.
What should I do? Stop using this mask. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on safe masks.
