The FDA said it conducted a post-marketing surveillance which showed that the personal protective equipment are being sold locally.
Under the FDA Act of 2009, a device is considered misbranded if any word, statement, or other pieces of information required are not prominently displayed or understood by consumers. The FDA said the manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offer to sell, distribution, transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising, or sponsorship of such products is a criminal offense.
The FDA central office directed its regional field offices and regulatory enforcement units as well as law enforcement agencies to ensure that these face masks are not sold in the market.
