Kassel - Mask recall : The fact that mouthguards have  been needed more than before since the beginning of the corona crisis was demonstrated not least in the delivery bottlenecks for some products. Even if the situation has eased somewhat in most regions, the various regulations of the federal states could exacerbate it somewhat.

Recall of Corona mouthguard: Now of all times while wearing a mask

This corona regulations specify that in most countries on Monday, 27.04.2020 in some areas of public life, a mask duty will consist. This is to curb the spread of the coronavirus .

Recall of corona protective masks: This face mask is affected

The recall came from the European Union's rapid alert system (RAPEX). 4 protective masks are affected, all of which were imported from China. 

It is particularly tragic that it is a mouthguard  of protection classes FFP2 and KN95. These categories are mainly used in the medical field during Corona .

Recall of corona masks: risk of infection increased - health risk

According to RAPEX, the masks do not comply with the regulation applicable in Europe for personal protective equipment and the European standard EN 149. After the authority ordered the recall , the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) also issued a warning. 

Because it cannot be ruled out that these masks were also sold in Germany. With the masks , the particle / filter retention is insufficient, as measurements showed. This increases the risk of infection with Corona when the mouthguard would not be combined with other protective measures. Then there may be a health risk . Customers should therefore exchange the masks immediately.
