The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will no longer block the import of KN95 masks, due to a shortage in personal protective equipment, or PPE, in the United States, an agency official first told Buzzfeed News.
The masks have been described as the Chinese equivalent of an N95 mask which U.S. health care workers use to protect themselves from airborne bacteria and viruses. Though they are allowing imports of the KN95 mask, the product is not FDA-approved, meaning those who use it do so without legal protections.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has included the KN95 mask as an alternative to other certified masks that should be used on an emergency basis.
The FDA has not authorized models of KN95 masks made in China under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) previously due to concerns of fraudulent products.

Yeah....I wouldn’t trust ANYTING coming from the ChiComs.
Remember their drywall back in the 1990s? It was beyond crappy, and ruined countless construction projects.

Yep...and, remember their melamine tainted dog food? That we wouldn’t dare give to our pets?
And, remember how, for decades, they’ve made 90% of our vital Rx drugs? Yet, we’ve been a-okay with ingesting those??
What’s wrong w/this picture, folks??
...and footprints
“Whats wrong w/this picture, folks??”
No kidding.
What you describe is a purchasing error.
The products should have routinely been tested to assure they met the specifications. There are many inspection agencies in China or laboratories in the USA that serve that very purpose. There ASTM specifications that the purchasers obviously did not stipulate in their purchase orders.
Somehow, 99.9 times out of a hundred, it was a righteous shoot.
Are these guys well trained or what?
“Europe is refusing medical imports from China for a reason.”
........
PRC accused Europeans of being ungrateful and stupid, urged them to double check the instructions of medical goods.
Gamma ray shipment on arrival trusting China is like trusting a democrat.
Bad move.
Hmm! Seems like a couple of governors, assisted by the NE Patriots, have already been importing N95 masks!
Pre-loaded with the CCP pandemic virus.
No, but they will have the "3Bat" logo...
Leave them under a UV light for a week. Spray them with Lysol and let sit for a week. Dunk them in bleach the third week. Leave out in the sun for another month. Then check for CV.
