“There are many other reports of fraudulent masks that have reached frontline workers.”
Looks like some of the bad masks made it to WA:
“Officials in Washington State examined their mask supply, which had come from a different company, and discovered that 300,000 masks they had purchased for about $1.4 million were counterfeit. Officials are investigating.”
