RZ mask update

Remember when I reviewed the RZ mask?

A potter friend of mine bought one and sent me an e-mail stating that his mask came with a warning that it didn't filter silica... the main hazard in pottery. I looked through the packaging that came with my mask and didn't see anything with that type of warning.  Before my review I e-mailed the company and asked what size micron it would filter and they said .1.

Potter Emily Murphy was also contacted by the RZ Mask and asked to give a review, which she did. Since that time she also was made aware of the company's new warning label and you can read the update to her review here.

I find it unfortunate that the RZ Mask has been unresponsive to her, and other potters questions. I plan to e-mail the company to see if I can get a response. If the mask isn't suitable for ceramics just say so! I felt it was important to share this new information with readers.
