20M Counterfeit Masks Have Been Seized By Customs Just This Year

Since the coronavirus madness began, U.S. Customs officials say they’ve confiscated “millions” of counterfeit masks coming into the country.

A “true” N95 mask will have a head band rather than ear loops, for a tighter fit.

Decorations, like sequins, would make the mask “less effective.”

Other tells include a price that’s “too low to be true,” typos on the packaging, and any statement saying it’s approved for kids…which NIOSH doesn’t do.
