Medline Canada Statement on Health Canada Advisory regarding Masks Containing Graphene
April 7, 2021
Dear Valued Customers,
Recently Health Canada began advising Canadians not to use masks that contain graphene because there is a chance that they could inhale graphene particles, which pose health risks. Health Canada has directed all known distributors, importers and manufacturers to stop selling and recall the affected products. For more details on the advisory, please visit https://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2021/75309a-eng.php
Masks distributed by Medline Canada do not contain graphene, and are not subject to this recall advisory. This includes but is not limited to our Medline, Alliance, and our other national brand masks that we distribute across Canada.
We deeply appreciate your patronage. Please reach out to your sales representative if you have further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Dave Forte
