N95 mask and NIOSH

I bought HDX (home depot house brand) n95 masks for lower cost. Long before the v day. I guess I bought them from homedepot website. Thought I got them from amazon. Then just few days ago I found HDX name sort of disappeared from the seller websites.

Entirely possible that homedepot decided to donate all and not list at all. But these days there are too many fake websites "supporting the existances" of said brands and manufacturers. I got snagged by one.:smile: So I am making a thread and will post the name, which I think is a fake.


Meanwhile, these may help, if anybody care to know.

Not a guarantee since NIOSH cert numbers are being faked, but every bit helps.
