Two things wrong with this.
1. The FDA doesn't have anything to do with face masks.
2. KN95 are not N95, so they definitely have nothing to do with these masks.
The fact that they put some obvious bullshit marketing phrase on there leads me to believe these are inferior products. Big pass

To help address concerns about availability during the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA has issued EUAs for certain PPE products including face shields, other barriers, and respiratory protective devices such as respirators.

In short, N95 masks are the US standards for respirator masks; KN95 masks are the Chinese standards for masks.
Thanks
it's very common in east asian countries.
Maybe we should consider copying this rather than being stuck to "we never had to do that for just the flu." Why are we confined to what we have been doing?
The effectiveness of the mask for COVID-19 has made me wonder how many lives from yearly flu can be saved if we adopt the courtesy to wear such masks when we are sick.
$300 for a box, saw the other day
Gonna check again
What are they Worth if so, say they are legit medical grade N95?
EDIT: found em, 320 for $100

I cannot speak for this particular model because I do not have one, but the cut out pattern is similar to a KN95 mask I obtained earlier from somewhere else. My wife tightened the bottom portion by further sewing the bottom section where the left and right section meet. This seem to make the mask fit well for our 9 and 11 year old.

Yes, the mask is also made in China.
And it cost a hefty $4 per mask. It has headloop like the 3M
Just at alternative for those having hard time getting the more popular 3M N95's

By design, KF94 is easier to breathe in than N95 or KN95.

There are three factors I believe you want to think about with re-use, those are contamination, fit, and filtration.
There are ways that hospital systems are trying to decontaminate, but without a shadow of a doubt the easiest and least prone to a problem method is "passive" decontamination. In other words, let the mask sit. The virus will "die" given enough time. That is what the two links posted before cover. https://www.nejm.org/na101/home/l...73_f1.jpeg
I would probably place in a paper bag, over setting out open. Less likely to get crap on it, etc. Brown paper bag is the same sort of material as cardboard that you see on that chart. Check out the "hours" for cardboard on that link to get a sense of, "how long do I let this sit in a bag, to consider it 'decontaminated'?"
In cases where you are taking on and off, there is no decontamination step. The safer way to go about it is to try to avoid touching the front of the mask, and when you touch it, clean your hands after (same with putting a mask back on that has not been 'decontaminated' - assume you touch the outside of it and just clean hands after). This is similar to what is called "doffing" in medicine, it's the process for taking off PPE that is assumed to be contaminated. I haven't thought about this, but perhaps you could even have a small cardboard box that you sit in your side seat as the place you set your mask when you take it off, outside down, on the cardboard. How necessary is it? Who knows, but this is the sort of stuff you'd consider and think through if you're taking a "safety first" sort of mindset I suppose.
You can see some of these details reflected in the CDC's guidance on respirators https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2...on-off.pdf
