Withdrawal of graphene masks distributed by the Canadian authorities

After the DIM branded masks in France, and the Avrox branded masks in Belgium, it is now Canada’s turn to announce, as a precaution, the withdrawal of the masks (SNN200642 grey and blue) that it had distributed to education, daycare and health personnel.
This withdrawal was justified by the presence, in the “Metallifer” masks concerned, of “nanoformed” graphene, having a “potential for early pulmonary toxicity linked to (its) inhalation”.
