More than 300 online stores are suspected of selling fake 3M masks

3M masks have been selling well in many places this year due to haze and bird flu But who would have thought that this kind of mask is not only useless, but also harmful? Shanghai Public Security Bureau recently reported that since May this year, Shanghai police, together with the police of nine provinces and cities such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, destroyed 18 fake 3M mask dens for production, sale and storage, seized more than 900000 finished and semi-finished 3M masks on site, with a total value of more than 46 million yuan According to 3m (China) Co., Ltd., the filtration efficiency and actual protection effect of these false masks are far lower than the requirements of national standards, and they have few protection functions In addition, the filter material of the false mask emits a pungent and unpleasant plastic smell, which not only does not meet the national requirements of "non-toxic, tasteless and non allergic" filter material, but also may harm human health Shanghai police said the Internet is the main channel for selling fake 3M masks, relying on ultra-low prices Take the hot 8210 model masks as an example Regular stores sell 8 to 9 yuan a piece, but the price of a batch of Taobao online stores is only 2 to 3 yuan, or even as low as 1.4 yuan At the beginning of this year, a 3M product agent told Fengxian public security bureau in Shanghai that the fake mask had spread on the Internet, and the police immediately began to investigate After preliminary screening, there are more than 300 online stores suspected of selling fake 3M masks Investigators selected seven online stores as a breakthrough point, and purchased 30 masks in each store, including 8210, 9001 and other popular models, which were identified as fake by the manufacturer Through investigation, these 7 stores are distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong and other places By comparing the clues, the police finally determined 18 production, sales and storage centers On May 20, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong and Liaoning launched 3M anti counterfeiting joint action at the same time According to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, the joint crackdown on 3M masks is one of the largest special actions of Shanghai police this year to "crack down on robberies, prevent fraud, strictly manage and ensure safety" Since May this year, Shanghai police have arrested more than 31000 suspects and solved more than 13000 cases.
