ZEN INCLUDED - Health Canada has directed all known distributors, importers and manufacturers to stop selling masks containing graphene and to recall affected products, and has written to all provinces and territories advising them to stop the distribution and use of said masks. Health Canada issues advisory for face masks containing graphene Coronavirus: Health Canada issues advisory for face masks containing graphene \| CTV News TORONTO -- Health Canada has issued an advisory and asked distributors to recall masks sold with graphene or biographene in them over potential inhalation risks. Graphene is comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms and is considered a nanomaterial, meaning it is made of tiny particles, and is reported to have “antiviral and antibacterial properties,” the advisory says. Health Canada said it conducted a preliminary scientific assessment after becoming aware that masks containing graphene were being sold with COVID-19 health claims and used by adults and children in schools and daycares. Health Canada also believes they may have been distributed for use in health care settings. The products affected are listed as “face masks labelled as containing graphene or biomass graphene,” the advisory states. Health Canada recommends that Canadians not use masks with the substance and to consult their health-care provider if they have used graphene face masks and have health concerns - such as new or unexplained shortness of breath, discomfort or difficulty breathing. The organization said that their preliminary assessment of available research found that inhaled graphene particles had some potential to cause “early lung toxicity” in animals, but that the potential for people to inhale graphene particles – and the related health risks – are not yet known, and may vary with based on mask design. The health risk to people of any age is not clear, the advisory says, as there are many variables such as duration of exposure and the type of graphene used. Health Canada has requested data from mask manufacturers to further investigate the potential health risks. Until the organization has completed a thorough scientific assessment and has “established the safety and effectiveness of graphene-containing face masks,” the advisory states they are taking the precaution of removing them from the market. Health Canada has directed all known distributors, importers and manufacturers to stop selling masks containing graphene and to recall affected products, and has written to all provinces and territories advising them to stop the distribution and use of said masks. Health Canada has requested that any health product adverse events or complaints regarding graphene face masks be reported to the organization.

I think you will find that Graphene or GO coated masks will no longer be allowed to fall into the same Category as Ordinary Masks as defined by HC. So after this fiasco, they will Change the Category, which will require trials and withdraw all HC Approvals for either Graphene or GO until its proven safe as suggested in the previous article I posted. There is no Grandfathering when it comes to HC so I would suspect ZEN gets caught up in this quickly. You can tell from the other articles that it appears HC treated these coated masks as only masks. Which seems to fly in the face of Good Practice by HC, but I have never liked the clown act they run as paid Pubic Serpents! So unfortunately for ZEN, even if there masks are perfect, this broad brush will cover everyone. I am not gloating here, I am stating the obvious. I had called $1.92 as a low call, I have no idea where it goes now
