Germany
CRD Light particle filter mask (white FFP2 mask with two ear loops), sold in a cardboard box and labelled "Filtering Half Mask" (type YY0525, batch 20231217; made in China) is affected. It was recalled because total filtration capacity was found insufficient (measured as low as 42%), so it does not comply with the PPE Regulation or EN 149 and may not properly protect; the importer has issued a voluntary recall from consumers and a voluntary market withdrawal.
