General Motors said it received N95 certification for the
filtering facepiece respirators made at the company's Warren,
Mich., facility.
The auto maker said approval was completed through the
public-health emergency process implemented by the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, part of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
GM said it will donate some of the N95 respirators to frontline
workers. To date, the Warren facility has delivered more than 4
million face masks and 230,000 face shields to frontline
workers.
To expedite the launch of the N95 line, GM repurposed sonic
welders from the Brownstown Battery Assembly plant.
