SEATTLE – The Washington State Hospital Association says hundreds of thousands of N95 masks bought by local hospitals and the association are counterfeit.

The WSHA says 3M, a manufacturer of the N95 mask, notified them on Friday of possible counterfeit masks in circulation.

The association sent off a sample of masks to 3M’s Fraud Department and were notified Saturday night that several lots bought by WSHA were not manufactured by 3M.

The hospital association says it is still waiting on an analysis of the remaining lots but so far the issue has impacted dozens of hospitals across the state and hundreds of thousands of N95 masks.

1. This warrants prison time. No slap on the wrist.

2. That is one reason why I am reusing my 5

N95s since last March. My family ordered a bunch in Feb 2020. I checked all the manufacturers last Spring and didn't trust any of them. I can keep recycling them if I do not touch them much while wearing and air out between wearing them. I only go out once a week and I can make them last.
