There are No K's on These N95 Respirator Masks!
We’re still in the middle of a global emergency, and protective gear is in high demand with broken supply chains that are slowly healing. As states reopen their economies, the possibility of another wave of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is very possible. As such, the CDC recommends wearing face coverings to help prevent the spread of this respiratory virus, creating even more demand for legitimate, quality face masks.
As a result, hucksters, shysters and scam artists have been running around accepting deposits and leaving town. The FDA has banned hundreds of companies from fraudulently selling inferior and counterfeit masks claiming to be approved N95's and many Chinese imported KN95 type masks.
More About the Chinese KN95s
American-made respirators are NOT stamped with a "K" before the "N95." Here in the USA, a respirator needs to prove to regulatory agencies that it is safe to protect your respiratory system. Once approved, it becomes NIOSH certified, the mask are then required to be stamped with the NIOSH approval and registration number.
Does your KN95 have a registration number on it anywhere? The "K" indicates that the safety device was manufactured in China, supposedly meets Chinese safety standards (whatever those may be), and are certified by Chinese "experts" overseas. If you trust China to protect your respiratory health, just know that there was an FDA ban on KN95 respirators as many imports were allowing 0-60% of airborne particulates to pass through the protective filter media.
AMERICA PLEADED & DEMANDED for DOMESTICALLY MADE N95's
Even legitimate suppliers are struggling. Are their masks actually landed in the United States or are they a month away by sea? Will the overseas factory deliver on time, and will they completely fill the order? They may not if the plant’s owner is auctioning off the day’s production to the highest bidder on the loading dock (true story!).

This is not a promise for the future or an offer of uncertified KN95s - the machines are humming and inventory is ready for immediate shipment.
