Hong Kong customs has arrested the director of a mask manufacturer and a chain cosmetic store manager over face coverings which were found with a bacterial count exceeding safety limits by 12.5 times, prompting the brand to withdraw the items from sale.
The coloured and patchwork printed, limited edition protective gear were produced by Family Mask. The masks, claimed to have attained “ASTM Level 3” standards, were packed in bags of five and sold for HK$15 (US$2) per pack.
