Not sure about the picture that is posted, but the masks that we received through another source are like the ones on the right and the packaging authenticity scratch off number passed the Powecom verification website. Bonafidemasks also provides a link to that "anti-fake check," so, either the right hand masks are also genuine, or the Powecom verification process doesn't work.
Powecom packaging has a scratch off verification number. You can go to http://www.powecom.com/verification.ht

Consumers should generally avoid shopping for such masks on Amazon and eBay, experts say. Instead, people should refer first to the CDC's list of N95 alternatives that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves for use in health care settings and try to buy them directly from the manufacturer.

N95 Respirators Not for Use by the General Public
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend that the general public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19). Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for health care workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.
If you actually worked in a hospital you would know that they can provide N95 to anyone who needs one now, and they just aren't buying them for most of the staff. Even if you wanted to wear these KN95's, they won't let staff wear outside provided masks (my sister tried to wear this exact mask at work, and got written up). So anyone buying these isn't affecting any US healthcare workers, pretend or otherwise. They'll all have the 2nd dose of vaccine soon anyway, so what's the diff?
Also, a respirator like this one is definitely needed by those of us unvaccinated, because we can't depend on the people around us to even wear a face covering correctly.

Also, if these masks were to limit the spread from the wearer, then why are all frontline medical personnel supposed to wear them ?? Are they all considered infected ??
