N95 mask producer 3M filed a federal lawsuit in New York on Friday, alleging that another company tried to sell its respirators at wildly inflated prices. According to 3M, New Jersey-based Performance Supply LLC falsely claimed to be affiliated with 3M and offered to sell about $45 million worth of N95 respirators to New York City officials at prices 500% to 600% above list price.
