A Chinese manufacturer has been charged with exporting nearly half a million defective masks claiming to meet the N95 standard, the Justice Department announced on Friday.
King Year Packaging and Printing Co. Ltd manufactured 495,200 faulty and misbranded masks that claimed to be N95 respirators and sent the products to the United States for sale, prosecutors said. The masks, however, fell well below N95 filtration standards, the department added.
