HoMedics Disposable General Use Face Masks, 50 Pack, White - Walmart.com $12.99
$12.99
I thought I'd post these since there are hardly any inexpensive KN95-style options available at the moment.
Current price is $12.99 for a 50-pack. Shipping is free. Sold and shipped by HoMedics, which is a pretty well-known low-priced brand. I received my order today, 2 days after ordering. They seem average quality compared to the KN95 masks I've bought before. They are not as nice as the Powecoms, but better than the flimsy ones with thin cords and weird smells. However the nose clip is exposed metal and not hidden as shown in the pictures.

!!!!!WARNING!!!!!
DO NOT BUY THESE
Homedics KN95 masks.The embossed welds have several porous holes. These masks are unsafe for protecting against coronavirus.These masks should be delisted by Walmart and recalled by Homedics. Defective and no quality control nor certified for protective usage. The packaging even says "This product is not intended for use" These masks are more like KN05 masks.
I received the box with a manufacturer date of 2020-05-11. Initial visual inspection I noticed the embossed welds that run horizontal across the cheeks to be noticeably large squares and transparently thin. Holding up to light I started to suspect these could be unsafe. I used a 10x magnifying glass and inspected 2 fresh unworn masks and observed several see-though holes in several areas of both masks. I was able thread a thin strand of human hair through the holes in both masks. I have nothing against Homedics or the OP and I truly wish these masks were not defective given the price point. I figure I'd capture some photos and provide a review before I boxed everything back up and shipped it back for refund.

And the description on the website for the Homedics masks uses the Chinese standard GB2626, so I'm thinking it really is a KN95 and they use some manufacturer in China, but I don't know which one they use, saw it here:

The box of masks I received states the manufacturer as Zhangzhou Easepal Industrial Co., LTD. It turns out that there's a CDC report on masks by this manufacturer:

Number of layers is not specified. So that tells me, maybe 2? Pass...

It's not as good as powecom, but it's a little better than BYD, which is very popular here. These are the results for BYD: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/r...ed-508.pdf
If you want the best, you should stick to Powecom. They tested better than 3M. But you're not going to get better than these HoMedics for the price.
