The timing of the reversal comes as public health officials in the US and other countries have called on the public to wear surgical, N95 and KN95 masks, as opposed to a simple cloth mask, to better protect itself from the highly contagious omicron variant. "The change in product descriptions is to ensure there is no confusion with our customers about the certification of the mask as a whole." "Razer has not received any communication from any external agencies on the matter," the company said. Neither the Zephyr nor the Zephyr Pro is listed on the agency’s website as a NIOSH-approved respirator.Īccording to Wu, Razer made the change following pressure from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and NIOSH, a claim the company strongly disputes.
It’s a designation that involves an entire mask, not just part of it, and accounts for both fit and filtration. As Wu points out in the video, “N95” is an official certification granted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for respirators that filter out at least 95 percent of airborne particles.
