Fighting Respirator Fraud and counterfeiting

To help combat COVID-19 related fraud, 3M has established new 3M hotlines in the U.S. and around the world to help end-users and purchasers of 3M products identify authentic 3M respirators and ensure products are from 3M authorized distributors. 3M has not, and will not, raise prices for its respiratory protection products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 3M has published the current U.S. list prices for many of the most common models of 3M N95 respirators to help customers identify and avoid inflated prices. We have also filed lawsuits in courts across the country against wrongdoers, terminated 3M distributors for engaging in price gouging or violating 3M policy, and collaborated with law enforcement and technology companies to combat fraud.
