Where To Find Legitimate N95 And KN95 Masks From Verified Sellers

Since the pandemic started, our lives have changed, adjusted and readjusted. But a few things have stayed the same — namely, the fact that it’s a good idea to wear face masks in large crowds when the virus is surging.

If you need a refresher on the types of masks out there, know that KN95 masks are held to China’s standard and can be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, while N95 masks are tested rigorously by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

“Those that are not NIOSH-approved simply may not be as effective for a multitude of reasons,” said Jen Caudle, a New Jersey-based family physician and associate professor at Rowan University. “We don’t know how they made the mask or what materials they used.”

Below are three N95 and KN95 masks that had at one point been approved by either NIOSH or the FDA.
