No one hurt Made Jan 19, 2012, sent to the company Jan 27, 2012, published by CPSC Mar 1, 2012
The product, in the report: 8511 Particulate Respirator by 3M. TeKK Protection trademark. N95 Approved mask contractor pack 8511PB2.
I purchases a box of 8511 Particulate Respirator masks made by 3M. All masks failed the same way allowing unfiltered air to enter the mask. The masks has a defective Cool Flow Valve installed to allow one to easily exhale air however this rubber type valve sticks open. I use this mask approximately 10 minutes a day then place it in a plactic bag to keep it clean for the next day. After two to three uses the valve gets warped and does not close. I have been in attic when the valve part has fallen off the mask and or gotten stuck open. I think this is a poor design it has lead to problems. I thought I was protected with a N95 Approved mask only to find out all the air I was breathing was coming through the valve with no filtration. I still have the box and some unused masks but I will never risk my health using this type of make again. I think this mask is a health hazard.
Thank you,
