Scum.
That's the nicest thing I have to say about manufacturers whose products fail on first use. I bought (from Amazon) a box of 50 disposable face masks in case society/government mandated their use outside in the future.
The bloody things are useless. As soon as you stretch the elastic ear loops to fit them, one or both ends tears away from the mask itself.
I have instigated a return for refund process, be going out soon to post the pack back to Amazon on the other side f the city, once received, I'll get a credit to m y Amazon account for the full amount I paid.
Predatory arseholes. Cheap Chinese junk.
As of midnight on Wednesday we are required to wear masks when outside.
I have a washable style cloth mask with a pouch to take an activated carbon filter inside it. The filters need replacement once or twice per week. I have 24 filters, meaning I have 8 to 12 weeks of protection. The recommendation is to wash the mask once or twice per week as well. I shall be visiting other mask retailers for more disposable masks that aren't as shitty as the ones being returned.
