Coronavirus outbreak: Toronto recalls face mask shipment due to faulty product

Toronto’s Office of Emergency Management general manager Matthew Pegg said on Tuesday the city discovered it had purchased over $200,000 worth of faulty surgical masks, which have since been sent back to the vendor and will be refunded. Pegg said the masks represented about 50 per cent of Toronto’s surgical mask inventory, but without those, the city still has approximately two to three weeks of supply remaining.
