It is confirmed that the droplets (droplets) blocking function of three products for commercially available anti-splash masks is inferior and is recovered and discarded.

In the liquid resistance test, which checks for the function of blocking the droplets, a water leakage phenomenon has been found in the mask junction.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety conducted a liquid resistance test on 56 products for anti-splash masks (40 folds and 16 flats) from 35 companies on the market and found that 3 products from 2 companies were not suitable. He said he was judged.

The non-conforming product is J-C's ▲ Easy Farm Fresh Care Mask (KF-AD) (large) (white) ▲ Easy Farm Easy Air Mask (KF-AD) (large) (white), P&T's ▲ Well-Keeps Contact Mask (KF-AD) (large).

All of these products met the standards at the time of approval, but it was investigated that water was leaked because the mask body and upper and lower wings were not properly bonded during the mask production process after approval.

When only the body part was tested except for the joint, it was confirmed that the water leakage phenomenon was not a problem for raw materials such as filters.

The Food and Drug Administration ordered two companies that produced and distributed nonconforming products to suspend manufacturing operations and improve the process.

In addition, we plan to take recovery and disposal of non-conforming products.
