Lamperd Less Lethal Receives Initial Order and Begins Production of Protective Face Masks in Response to the Global COVID19 Coronavirus Crisis

Lamperd Masks Are Washable Cotton Cloth with a Military Spec 1 Inch Wide Neck Band for Comfortable, Long Term Use

SARNIA, Ontario, April 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. (OTC PINK: LLLI), an innovation leader and manufacturer of advanced security solutions for law enforcement, military and security agencies worldwide, announces that the company has received an initial order for the manufacture of protective face masks to help control the spread of COVID19 Coronavirus or other infectious diseases. These masks will help protect law enforcement and public service personnel. Since Lamperd has been producing specialized police clothing and protective gear for many years, the company is very well set up to handle large production runs of protective face masks that are greatly needed at this time.

Lamperd has already completed its first production run of protective face masks which are made to guidelines from Johns Hopkins Medicine. Significant follow-up orders to go into immediate production are expected. The design of the masks Lamperd is making offer an extra amount of coverage from the bridge of the nose to under the chin and are very comfortable, being made of 100% cotton. This design also features a military spec, 1 inch wide elastic strap which goes around the back of the neck to make it more comfortable to wear for long periods. These masks are washable and therefore reusable over an extended time. Lamperd will produce masks in different colors to suit user preferences and each mask will bear the Lamperd Less Lethal company logo to identify its source. Photos can be seen on the company website at this direct link: https://lamperdlesslethal.com/products/

Individuals wearing these masks will be supporting control efforts of COVID19 Coronavirus by helping to protect themselves and those around them from spreading the infection. World health organizations are currently recommending that everyone wear some type of face mask when out in public until the pandemic crisis abates. In addition to supplying face masks on contract, Lamperd will be offering them to the general public through the company's international distributor network.

CEO Barry Lamperd commented, "We are glad to be able to make this important contribution in the global effort to control the Coronavirus which is posing such a widespread threat to people in every part of the world today. The specialized clothing and protective gear division of our extensive manufacturing facility in Sarnia, Ontario is well equipped and staffed with skilled personnel to make the much needed protective face masks. The initial mask order we received just last week has been completed and we are ready to produce many more masks as new orders come in from any part of the world.”
