ST PAUL - 3M has expanded its global anti-fraud and price gouging activities as it looks to ensure the continued safe supply of its personal protective equipment.
The company says it has launched an aggressive legal effort to stop profiteers who are attempting to take advantage of the demand for 3M products used by healthcare workers and first responders. Building on this work, 3M has now established hotlines around the world to report suspected fraud and has created online resources to help spot price-gouging, identify authentic 3M respirators and ensure products are from 3M authorized distributors.
