China accounted for about 51 percent of counterfeit or substandard COVID-19-related products seized by U.S. customs officials from October 2019 to Sept. 30 last year, according to a newly-released report from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Among the products seized by U.S. customs officials were over 12.7 million counterfeit masks, 177,356 COVID-19 test kits prohibited by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and 38,098 FDA-prohibited chloroquine tablets.
The effectiveness of the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine and its closely-related chloroquine in treating symptoms of COVID-19, which is caused by the CCP virus (commonly known as the novel coronavirus), is of much debate.
The FDA initially issued an emergency use authorization for the two drugs, but later revoked the authorization in June last year, saying that they were “unlikely to be effective in treating COVID-19.”
However, there have been studies showing their effectiveness: one study showed hydroxychloroquine lowered the death rate of COVID-19 patients, while another study demonstrated a drug cocktail containing hydroxychloroquine could lower the hospitalization and death rate of patients infected by the virus.
The FDA currently has a database listing fraudulent COVID-19 products, including test kits. The list contains company names and the names of their products.
In December last year, customs officials in Cincinnati seized 10,080 counterfeit surgical masks, which were labeled “3M Mask Model 1860,” in a shipment originating from China, according to a press release. The boxes containing the masks were fraudulently labeled as “Made in the USA.”
If genuine, these fake 3M masks would have an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $65,520.
Counterfeit masks were also arriving in the United States from Hong Kong. Customs officials in Cincinnati seized 6,080 fake 3M masks in freight from Hong Kong on Dec. 6, 2020.
Another seizure took place in Chicago in September last year,

With biden boy this will all pass as normal. nothing to see here, move on.
Of course, it is an act of war, just like releasing a virus and actively spreading it around some cities is an act of war. Our government wants to pretend that the chinese are not our enemies.
“KN95” masks are jokes.....
I had some KN95 masks which were made in Virus-land; I threw thwm out and bought masks made in America.
So are American flags!
I see nothing wrong with this; fake masks for a fake plague.
Counterfeit? I’ve seen people wearing bandannas. This. That. Cloth this. Gator that Everything gets you in the store man !
I wear a bandanna. Couldnt breathe with the KN95
Couldn't say "I can't breathe" without sufficient melanin.
Dang - where were you able to find N95’s made in the USA?
Did anyone ever find out where the millions of $$$$ in California went when Newsom ordered masks from China that were NEVER shipped????
I don’t think they’re N95’s.
I posted here on Free Republic last April or May then our dumbass Governor here in Illinois spent more than 17 million dollars in taxpayer funds to buy masks from China.
When they arrived they were determined to be all useless. China did this deliberately, I think we all know that right?
Ok.
