Dutch officials have recalled tens of thousands of masks imported from China and distributed to hospitals battling the coronavirus outbreak because they do not meet quality standards, the health ministry said on Saturday.

They received delivery of masks from a Chinese manufacturer on March 21, the ministry said in a statement to AFP.Part of the shipment had already been distributed to health professionals, the statement said. “The rest of the shipment was immediately put on hold and has not been distributed. “A second test also revealed that the masks did not meet the quality norms. Now it has been decided not to use any of this shipment,” said the statement.The recall concerned nearly half of the shipment of 1.3 million masks, known as FFP2 — 600,000 had already been sent to hospitals, the public television channel NOS reported.

The problem with the masks was that they did not close over the face properly, or had defective filters, the station added. France’s Health Minister Olivier Veran has announced that he had ordered more than a billion masks, notably from China, to help the country fight the coronavirus pandemic.

ShabanKimuyu2 Too bad for business even to the human race

China is fake, will remain fake

Why import from China? Nigerian importers pls go to Aba

They will be shipped to Africa. Continent of the substandard.

But really I think I'm Beginning to believe all these conspiracy theories flying around. I mean, if you're responsible for the outbreak currently shutting down countries worldwide, you should at least be careful of what you export to them in tackling what you created.

M beginning to believe this COVID19 is a bio weapon created to reduce world population. Pls don’t ask me for proof.

It's part of their Constitution, na nothing made in China must last

Why are this people risking their nation by importing stuff from China when knowing that the evil eminates from China

The only original product made in China is Corona Virus. IFB

Upon all d calamities china has brought to the world, they are still selling fake masks. Thunder that will fire them is still doing press up

China selling fake materials at this critical time.

Nigeria politicians will buy the mask and share it

China govt has a hidden agenda

They will collect it and donate it as relief items to Italy, no wonder the situation is getting worse by the day.

Standard gets thrown out the window ☹️

The Chinese is really bent on ruining the world...

Aswears chine want to take over the world, we never see anything as a Green and white, dis a proverb for us

Who will check ours in Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❓ I think we will just start using them without even testing FightCOVID19 Covid19BackToSender
