European Commission suspends delivery of 10 million 'poor quality' masks from China

The European Commission announced Thursday it suspended shipments of 10 million masks made in China after two countries reported they were of "poor quality," Al Jazeera reported.

Following the first disbursement of 1.5 million mask deliveries to 17 out of 27 member states and the U.K., Poland's Health Minister Lukasz Szumowski said at least 600,000 masks the country received lacked European certificates and did not meet required medical standards.

The Netherlands also reported similar quality complaints about the masks the country received.

The commissioner for health and food safety, Stella Kyriakides, advised other countries who already received masks to provide feedback on the quality of their face covers, the report added.

Commission health spokesman Stefan De Keersmaecker said that deliveries of the masks would be suspended, adding, "We will then see what action needs to be taken if there is indeed a quality problem with these masks."

De Keersmaecker said that the European Commission carefully selected the masks before purchasing, also verifying their usability.

"If necessary, we will of course take any necessary legal action," De Keersmaecker said, "It is of utmost importance that personal protective equipment sent out by the Commission is of very high quality."

'MADE IN CHINA' used to mean low quality. Apparently it still does.

Being as China has some of the best manufacturing facilities in the world, at the present time, it becomes obvious that these poor-quality masks were intentionally created poorly. This is so there will be more foreign infections from their bioweapon.

Yet another act of war from the Chinese. Seems they are getting pretty belligerent.

Feel froggy, China? Maybe you need to jump.

How great of a bio-weapon is Covid-19?

So good that when China attacks us with it......we attack one another, and not China.

That good.
