NIOSH revokes emergency approval of Plastikon’s N95 masks
Editor's Note
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), on May 4, revoked its public health emergency approval for Plastikon Industries’ (Hayward, California) PLASMA N95-01 masks.
The revocation was issued because a product audit by NIOSH failed to meet filter efficiency requirements.
The mask is no longer approved and may not be manufactured, assembled, sold, or distributed, NIOSH says.
