Review
These masks are individually wrapped and are labeled with NIOSH approval numbers. I ordered a box from Costco for my mother since we live in a state with a mask mandate, plus she has quite a few doctor’s appointments coming up. The masks were made in July 2020 and expire in July 2022 (I purchased this in January 2022). The straps go around the head and not around the ears and are unfortunately very tight and are not adjustable. This mask works for my mother (she’s 4’10” and very petite) but it is too tight for the rest of the family. The straps are also stapled to the mask and not glued on, so there’s that to consider. These masks have mixed reviews online with the major complaints being the tightness of the straps and the small surface area of the mask.
