Minnesota-based 3M has filed a lawsuit against an Ontario company that allegedly claimed a phony affiliation with the U.S. medical-gear maker to sell hard-to-find N95 face masks at exorbitant prices.
The lawsuit, filed in Ontario Superior Court, alleges that Caonic Systems Inc. set up a web domain on the e-commerce platform Shopify and used it to sell masks that it claimed had been made by 3M in Singapore and the United Kingdom.
