That would explain why a lot of new Chinese clone products start out the gate with 5-10 obviously fake five star reviews.


Yes. Search "Medical mask" on Amazon. Lots of vague, enthusiastic 5-star reviews. Then read the 1-star reviews:

Link advertised as Medical Grade, CDC approved, CE certified but the box that the mask came in didn't have ANY of the advertised verbiage. On top of that, box had had non-sterile printed & non-CE (non certified). FRAUD advertisement!!

Ordered these believing they were medical masks as described on this page. What I received was clearly labeled "Non-Medical Masks" and had a different part number than the number listed here.

Ad said masks were made in USA. They are made in China.

I bought a medical mask and when opening the package it says NON-MEDICAL-MASK

I ordered these, because they said they were FDA approved. I received a different brand that is not.

Only the 1-star reviews matter.
