The 3M company faces a consumer boycott after they were accused of selling much needed medical masks to cash buyers representing other countries before selling them to America. The company was hit hard on Twitter by President Donald Trump and thousands of angry users who were using the hashtag, #Boycott3M.<\/p>\n
This was all revealed during an interview with Tucker Carlson and Jared Moskowitz, the head of Florida’s Division of Emergency Management.<\/p>\n
Moskowitz suggests that 3M distributors are “prioritizing foreign buyers after they refused to sell him the essential equipment.”<\/p>\n
It’s stated that the sales and shipping of the medical masks, commonly called N95’s, are going first to the foreign countries who are simply outbidding the United States buyers. This is happened even with American hospitals being in great need for the medical masks as nurses, doctors, and other staffers are experiencing a major shortage and at times – making their own masks or reusing the same ones, which are not very effective after a certain number of hours.<\/p>\n
Moskowitz was quoted as saying<\/a>, “For the last several weeks, we have had a boiler room chasing down 3M authorized distributors [and] brokers representing that they sell the N95 masks, only get to warehouses that are completely empty… [We are] being told that our shipments are on cargo planes and the flights don’t even appear. We are chasing ghosts. I just decided to turn up the heat and tell people what is actually happening in the N95 mask space.”<\/p>\n He also states that he contacted numerous authorized 3M distributors and was “shocked to find American companies quietly partnering with foreign buyers at a time of national crisis.”<\/p>\n Moskowitz took his information and posted on Twitter about it. He said, “Hi<\/span> @3M<\/span>. I\u2019m your new Troll. I\u2019m the Director of Emergency Management for the State of Florida<\/span> @FLSERT<\/span>. Please send us N95 masks directly to our hospitals, first responders and the state. How many brokers and distributors do we have to negotiate with only to find empty warehouses?<\/span>”<\/p>\n Hi @3M<\/a>. I\u2019m your new Troll.
