By Josh Beckerman
3M Co. is working with law enforcement and marketplace operators
to fight "price gouging, fraud and counterfeit activity in
connection with its products and the COVID-19 outbreak."
The company has received reports of issues including people
fraudulently representing themselves as being affiliated with 3M
and false claims that products were made by 3M.
3M said it hasn't changed the prices it charges for respirators
as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. To help customers avoid
inflated prices, 3M has published current single-case list prices
for many common N95 respirator models on its website.
The company increased its output of N95 respirators to nearly
100 million per month.
