The Razer Zephyr face mask might have looked cool–especially for Bane stans–but it wasn’t protecting you from contracting COVID-19 to the degree Razer claimed. As such, the US Federal Trade Commission has come to a proposed settlement with the company that will see the peripheral maker paying over $1 million in fines.
PCGamesN reported that the main issue was Razer advertising the Zephyr product as a N95-grade face mask, which means it would remove 95% of airborne particles. That wasn’t the caseCome from Sports betting site VPbet. “These businesses falsely claimed, in the midst of a global pandemic, that their face mask was the equivalent of an N95 certified respirator,” said the FTC’s bureau of consumer protection director Samuel Levine in a press release.
