Purchased for H1N1 use as well as garage August 20, 2009

This model of respirator is listed on the CDC website as follows "FDA has authorized emergency use of these respirators by the general public1 during the current swine flu emergency to help reduce exposure to airborne germs." A table follows that statement with the gerson 1730 model in the table.
I purchased a couple of boxes because the cost was not too bad at around $8/box, and I can use them in the garage when woodworking, spraying some chemicals, cutting tile, etc. So I won't be wasting my money even if we don't get the flu. If one of my kids gets the flu, I will probably quarantine them to their room with a TV and game boy, and wear these when I am directly caring for them, along with a pair of gloves. In the hospital when entering or exiting a patient's room who had an airborne illness like the flu, we gowned, gloved and put on masks to protect ourselves. This respirator isn't guaranteed to keep you from getting the flu, but may help you be safe. Safer still is good hand washing frequently, and washing counters, doorknobs, and surfaces with bleach spray, etc.
If I were a pregnant woman, elderly person, or person with an underlying condition such as asthma, bronchitis, cancer, HIV etc. I would probably wear a respirator and perhaps even gloves in public. The mortality and complication rates among these populations from the flu is so much higher that more precautionary measures for this population is prudent. The FDA has approved the 3M 8612 model respirator, which is probably the one I would go with if I were in this population group and could afford to do so. If the cost of those is prohibitive, the Gerson 1730 would also be an option.
High quality respirator. June 9, 2009

This product has been made with high quality materials. Probably can be improved with more comfortable shape.
 Beware! Not as advertised June 2, 2009

Masks were advertised by TCP Global on Amazon site as "Avian Flu masks," but were simply N95 particle masks not rated for medical use, which is why I was buying them. They were for use in painting, automotive work, and the like. I had a very hard time getting anyone on the phone to arrange a return (took 11 calls, and no one ever called me back). When they finally agreed to take the product back, they did not agree to pay the return shipping. Cost me almost $10 to return something that was fraudulently advertised. Beware, shoppers!
 Substantial materials used in the mask May 28, 2009
Christopher Yee Mon (Brooklyn, NY but from Trinidad)
The material is actually useful for something. It's thick, not flimsy like what people think these masks might be. It's actually useful for situations with a lot of dust in general, not just for staving off the swine flu apocalypse :P
Works Great May 3, 2009

I have been wearing these masks 24/7 for 2 weeks now and I haven't gotten the swine flu. Works like a charm.
