The article brings that up.

"The complaint alleges that Razer only stopped the false advertising following negative press coverage and consumer outrage at the deceptive claims," said FTC.

In fact, after a little bit of research of my own, I found an Engadget article with quote from a Razer representative stating, "To avoid any confusion, we are in the process of removing all references to ‘N95 Grade Filter’ from our marketing material."

lol "to avoid any confusion" ...

yeah, it's your fault you were confused, you stupid baboon. what part of 'N95 Grade Filter' made you confuse this mask for an N95 alternative?

The filter may have been N95 grade, but the mask itself was not and could never be.

Yeah, it makes a nice deception, and is legally ok, or at least they thought so
