Breaking news! US FDA revokes EUA authorization for 70 mask companies

At present, the epidemic situation in the United States is still serious, and the shortage of epidemic prevention materials such as masks still troubles the American people.

However, just yesterday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revoked the EUA authorization of several Chinese mask manufacturers on the grounds of substandard performance.

Currently, there are only 14 Chinese mask manufacturers that have obtained emergency authorization from the FDA. Before May 7, there were 87 Chinese mask manufacturers that had obtained emergency authorization from the FDA.

I believe that after seeing this, many sellers are not very clear about what EUA is.

EUA is a temporary authorization issued by the FDA, also known as an emergency use authorization.

Previously, according to FDA documents, masks produced in China were required to meet one of the following three requirements to obtain EUA authorization:

This time, in addition to reissuing the EUA and greatly shortening the list of allowed imports (attached), the FDA also made the following revisions:

In short, the FDA's requirements for Chinese manufacturers have become more stringent, and the difficulty of obtaining EUA authorization has also increased.

Just yesterday, many sellers were permanently banned and had their funds frozen by Amazon for selling masks and other epidemic prevention materials, so they went to the Amazon office in Shenzhen to seek an explanation.

A netizen wrote a poem for this, which also expressed the bitterness and sweetness of sellers during the epidemic.

At present, the control of masks is becoming more and more strict , and we hope that all platform sellers will abide by the rules, otherwise you may lose both your money and the goods.
