Disposable face masks containing potentially toxic graphene particles are being recalled. Health Canada issued the notice on Friday and said wearers could inhale graphene, which may be dangerous for the lungs. Masks containing graphene particles may have been distributed in some health-care facilities. Preliminary research with animals shows graphene has potential to cause lung toxicity, according to Health Canada. People who have masks containing graphene should not wear them.
