Counterfeit masks discovered in Japan

(23 Apr) Japan has recently discovered masks made in China with questionable source.

There is a way to identify these marks - the certification marks of the Japan Hygiene Products Industry Association on them were printed in simplified Chinese.

Even though the description on the package claims these masks are virus-proof, they fail to reach certification standard yet they are still available in the market.

Many Japanese on Twitter were not surprised by such discovery.

Chinese counterfeits of "Made In Taiwan" masks appear in Japan. Offers no protection against coronavirus.
 
(22 Apr)Recently, some Japan-based Taiwanese netizens have discovered many masks embossed with “Made in Taiwan” (MIT) in Japan, claiming to be from Taiwan. However, these masks are not only labelled to be originating from China, but the attached inspection certificate was also issued by China. In addition, Taiwan has banned the export of masks until the end of June, the masks sent to Japan were all "donated" and only provided to frontline medics. It’s obvious that these “MIT” masks did not come from Taiwan.
 
Moreover, since these "Made in China masks" are not medical masks, they offer no protection against coronavirus and can only block pollen and dust.
