Shandong Shengquan’s graphene masks reauthorized in Canada
.
.
.
Canadian authorities have evaluated four models of graphene masks produced by Shandong Shengquan New Materials Co. Ltd whose sale had been suspended last March.
“No concerning health risks” were identified, so the masks were reauthorized for sale in Canada. These are the only masks containing graphene that are currently allowed for sale in Canada.
