SEATTLE -- More than 460,000 counterfeit 3M N-95 surgical masks that were on their way to Puget Sound area first responders were intercepted by federal investigators, Homeland Security officials said. The masks are a critical tool used by health care providers and first responders to protect themselves from the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne dangers.
Seven local organizations had bought the masks, which were worth nearly $600,000 at list prices, but officials said many victim organizations have had to pay well over list price in competing for limited supplies.
