KN95 masks

Reason

Following the MDEL bulletin issued by Health Canada on May 11, 2020, this mask may or may not provide filtration protection to a level of 95% or greater as the packaging indicates. They are being re-labelled to be used as basic face masks instead of respirators that often are required in a medical capacity.
