Ohhh theres a mask shortage during covid. Let's change legislation that prevents companies from being sued over mask that don't work.
"Under U.S. law, masks for health-care workers typically have to be manufactured on production lines certified by the Food and Drug Administration. Masks for construction workers and other industrial users are approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH.
The new liability protection allows manufacturers and hospitals to provide some industrial N95 masks to medical workers without fear of being sued if the masks fail, said Johnson, who helped work on the legislation. The government now assumes liability, he said."
