Razer to Refund $1.1 Million Over False N95 Mask Claims

The FTC has ordered Razer to issue refunds and pay fines after falsely marketing its Zephyr masks as N95-grade during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Razer falsely claimed its Zephyr masks were N95-grade, leading to a $1.1 million fine and refund order by the FTC.
The company never submitted the masks for NIOSH certification, despite advertising them as capable of filtering 95% of airborne particles.
Razer has agreed to settle to avoid litigation, but denies any wrongdoing and emphasizes its commitment to its community.
Less than 6% of U.S. customers have received refunds so far, with ongoing efforts to refund affected consumers.
The settlement also includes a $100,000 civil penalty and prohibits Razer from making unsubstantiated health claims about protective equipment.
