`
`Fraudulent Activity, Price Gouging, and Counterfeit Products
`
`March 31, 2020
`
`At 3M, we are committed to doing all we can to help combat the fraudulent, price gouging, and counterfeit
`activity that is unfortunately occurring in connection with COVlD-19. Examples include people fraudulently
`representing themselves as being affiliated with 3M and having authentic 3M product to sell, selling (or
`offering to sell) 3M products at grossly inflated prices, selling counterfeit products falsely claimed to be from
`3M, and falsely claiming to manufacture 3M products. In many cases, these scammers will try and secure
`funds in advance and then disappear once the money is received.
`
`3M will not tolerate any such activity by 3M authorized channel partners and we will aggressively pursue
`third-parties that seek to take advantage of this crisis. We are working with law enforcement authorities
`around the world — including, in the U.S., the U.S. Attorney General, state Attorneys General, and local
`authorities.
`
`We have also created a new 3M COVlD-19 Fraud hotline for the U.S. and Canada that end-users and
`
`purchasers of 3M products can call for information to help detect fraud and avoid counterfeit products.
`You can reach this hotline by calling: 1 (800) 426-8688.
`
`In addition to the hotline, you can report a concern at
`
`3M recommends purchasing our products only from a 3M authorized distributor or dealer, as that offers the
`greatest assurance that you will receive authentic 3M products.
`
`If you need help identifying 3M authorized distributors and dealers in your area, please contact 3M Help
`Center at
`or 1 (888) 364-3577 in the United States.
`In Canada, please contact 3M Canada Customer Service at 1 (800) 364-3577.

`
`3M has also worked to further accelerate delivery of respirators to critical end-users — both by utilizing
`our existing network of healthcare distributors and, where it makes sense to do so, shipping directly to
`end-user locations. Effective the week of March 23, the small volume of 3M filtering facepiece respirators
`being made available to critical industrial infrastructure is shipping directly to the specified end-user.
`
`3M respirators should be sold only in 3M packaging, with model-specific user instructions accompanying
`the product.
`
`3M respirators should not be sold individually or without packaging (including User Instructions).
`
`3M has strict quality standards, and therefore products that have missing straps, strange odors, blocked
`valves, misspelled words, etc. are likely not authentic 3M respirators.
`
`Finally, 3M personal protective equipment (PPE) is intended, labeled, packaged, and certified to meet the
`requirements of the countries in which 3M sells it. Those requirements differ around the world, including as
`it relates to, for example, respirator performance, local language, and local certification and approval for sale
`and use. As a result, 3M PPE imported from other countries may not meet local requirements. Please confirm
`such PPE meets all applicable requirements prior to use.
`
`For technical assistance regarding the selection and use of 3M respirators, please contact your local
`3M Technical Service team. In the U.S., you can call 1 (800) 243-4630. In Canada, you can
`call 1 (800) 364-3577.
`
`For more information, contact the 3M Help Center at 1 (888) 364-3577 in the United States.
`In Canada, please contact 3M Canada Customer Service at 1 (800) 364-3577.
