I'm sure others will have questions like I do, are these real? Where are they made? Are they really 3M?

1) Sold and fulfilled by Amazon, this probably better than sold by a 3rd party and fulfilled by Amazon. My guess is they're real
2) Looks like these are imported from Asia, via FEMA. (https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/worke...9/airlift/)
3) Yes, 3M do make KN95, but it looks like this model, they have marked as both KN95 and N95.

Could be counterfeit, they're finding them all over, hospitals, etc. A lot of fake masks got into the supply chain. Amazon being the seller doesn't mean anything. You think they have better sources than actual hospitals?

These are made in China, from a kn95 base

I believe that's a different model

It has the same model number. It seems like 3M imported KN95 and is able to sell them as n95 in the US. Really strange.

Here's the CDC's Approval list, and 9502+ N95 is on it:https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/t...list1.html

and the specific details of the approval:https://wwwn.cdc.gov/NIOSH-CEL/Ap...alNum=8637

So I used another N95 (by BYD) that looks just like this. I won't go into the science, because I don't know how legit these are in terms of filtration protection. To me, these Chinese N95's look/feel just like a KN-95 except that it has the two headbands instead of the earloops. Literally, that's it... just creates a tighter seal. Material, shape, and construction feels just like KN-95. If these were made in USA, I would jump on it anyway. However, being made in China, I have a hard time trusting it. I don't think there is a KN-95 looking style/shape N-95 mask that's made in the US, is there?

Now... this is also no joke: Me being Asian, you will not see me walking around with a mask that says N-95 and KN-95 right next to it with a side full of Chinese characters in your face. That's like a double-whammy asking for a beating/stabbing.

Not sure how serious you are about that last bit, I know it's on the news a lot lately but but stay safe!
