>How to spot a fake N95
Here are some other warning signs, per the CDC:
NIOSH markings on KN95s. This is an obvious sign of a counterfeit because, as discussed, the NIOSH has not certified any KN95s.
Respirators bedecked in sequins or other "decorative fabric." Real N95s are all business.
Respirators that you loop around your ears (surgical masks) instead of around your head, à la genuine N95s.
Respirators sold via websites that feature the telltale signs of e-commerce bad actors, such as: pages filled with dummy text; mismatched logos or brand names; typos; and company email addresses that are associated with free email account services.
